As announced by OnTheWight earlier in the week, the Better Ferry Campaign, has finally shown their hand, by launching their Website.
Although the Twitter account for the campaign has been operating for a while, ‘following’ Islanders and being promoted by Andrew Turner’s Twitter account, the Website remained publicly unavailable, until this morning.
The site is slender, at just four pages of text, yet is well-designed, using graphics effectively to illustrate the points made.
The main messages
There’s no doubting – as it’s written in huge red text as you enter the Website – the overall drive of the site is to focus the reader’s attention on the profits generated by the Wightlink and Red Funnel and the amount of money that those two companies still owe, having borrowed it when they launched.
Specifically the site claims that £28 million pounds was the combined profit of Wightlink and Red Funnel, and that ‘Yet up to 60% of these profits are used to pay interest of very high debts’.
Return of the video
The video that was suddenly hidden from view around an hour after OnTheWight showed it for the first time earlier this week, has reappeared on the site too. Detail of the shown on the video can be read in that story.
