Replying to @wightlinkferry
@wightlinkferry Why can't I buy a national rail e-ticket from the IoW that integrates with the yarmouth to lymington ferry? The only option is to collect a paper version, and it says you don't have facilities to be able to collect that on the island.

one of the most frustrating things about there being “no jobs” is that we all walk around and see the work that needs to be done. our cities are crumbling, our people need help, our world is dying. there’s so much work to be done, if only it were good for the balance sheet

So concerning when those in power try and limit our freedom of speech beyond what is allowed by the law and the only thing stopping them is the judiciary, months later.
