Stop UK Island Discrimination

Make the refusal to deliver goods to residential Island UK address illegal.

Why is this important?

UK economy requires and benefits from island produce and services such as for the Isle of Wight with its: garlic, milk, tomatoes, rapeseed oil, blue cheese, asparagus, enjoy flying with the knowledge Isle of Wight companies have built a large section of the plane and electronic communication devices, and the detention of dangerous criminals.

UK mainland can enjoy these products and services, these islands offer, these islands however, are unable to acquire good and services from some of the mainland distributors .
