Not helped by the RET though eh?

Absolutely compounded by RET! Madness!! Can’t even get booked on a ferry during the summer.

 

RET + Tourist tax= contradiction.

It's the same for Stornoway, locals either can't get over to the mainland, or get back home. Ferry full of tourists, with fares subsidised by tax payers

Yep all true, but I don’t mind the cheaper fares when I go to the western isles.[emoji3]

He should get life anyway just for going to court dressed like that.

Clearly zero respect or understanding of any basic human moral code.

And the rest. Euthanase him and save the money. He'll do nothing of good in his entire life on this planet anyway. What a piece of shit.

While I agree with the sentiment, I don't think euthanasia is the word you're looking for.
 

Euthanasia is an act of compassion.

No I meant it. I don't believe in torturing people. Quickly, painlessly, put him out of his and everyone else's misery. 

No need to revel in it. Just get it done.

I have always pondered on tourist tax, with it being in existence does freedom of movement really exist?

You’re free to move, but it is not free to move, ‘twas ever thus.

Yes that sums it up with tax’s passports not being free etc.
