What is actually wrong with people. It’s 2019 and the world is seriously going to shit! People have no morals whatsoever, it’s disgusting. And don’t even get me started on the younger generation and how they think they can run around acting, this is the Isle of Wight, not the ghetto. You’re not gangsters, it’s not big and it certainly isn’t clever. Makes me sick.
They Need a good slap!!!
Freshwater is getting worse ! What is happening ! Nothing is safe anymore ! Stuff is getting stolen ! I was a victim in July ! This shouldn’t be happening in a small community! Too many strangers being moved here !
