Challenge to the Island
Well, head of Bestival, Rob da Bank, who lives over in the West of the Isle of Wight with Josie, his wife (and central-Bestival lynch pin) and kids, has pitched in with something that will strike fear into many Islanders.
if UKIP got in on the Isle of Wight i would seriously think about taking Bestival elsewhere #NotVotingUKIP

UKIP in: Bestival out?
He’s threatening to seriously consider shifting Bestival away from the Isle of Wight, if UKIP are elected here.
Bestival is much-loved by many of the young people of the Isle of Wight and a fair few of the older ones too.
Could it change voting?
Does Robby’s threat bring sufficient fear into people’s minds that they might change their vote to keep Bestival on the Island?
