      Never been there.
      Might be a bit of truth in what he says, but probably over hyped by the media.

      Good job he said white.:snork:

        Who cares? I'd love to live in a world where the occasional careless rant was the most newsworthy event.

        Imagine the media editors meeting in the morning. 'What's that? No wars anywhere? No horrible disease outbreak? No natural disaster killing hundreds and displacing thousands? Well what have we got? Some bloke had a rant about the Isle of Wight? Well if nothing else has happened it'll have to do'.

            Been to the Isle of Wight for Holidays many times (it's one of our favourites) and I think there is an element of truth to what he says. I think there are many places in the UK that have people living in poverty right next to rich enclaves, reminds me of how Bill Bryson describes them "too many people, not enough surnames"

              It's a small island...what do we expect but why should this man have the right to have a public pop..live and let live..are these people doing anyone else any harm?? Offset puts young children under pressure..and the outcome of offsets is to give the school a good name not the children..I have a dear friend that was deputy head and taught reception all she ended doing for her last 3 years before walking away after 30 years was offsted paperwork..

                  In the forties I used to go to the island to stay with a school friend whose parents owned a small hotel there (he lived in London with an uncle and aunt because of schooling).

                  I was young and naive and didn't think about why he and his sister shared a bed when we went to stay. :rolleyespink: They didn't have any more bedrooms but it seemed to me, thinking about it some years later, that it was a bit peculiar to make that sort of arrangement :scratch:

                    Even so, this is an authority :catapult:representing education and presumably good example and civilization.

                        We have just come from our holiday on the Isle of Wight and saw quiet a few different things among the locals but I had better not say anything as it might get me into trouble:snorky::mute:

                        Still love the island though and would still like to live there permanently :snorky:
