Private Eye
Private Eye – the very popular English investigative/satire magazine – has, over the years, featured the Isle of Wight a disproportionate number of times when compared to its size and population.
Isle of Wight council, Isle of Wight MP Andrew Turner, Carole Dennet, The County Press, ex-council leader Steve Beynon, David Pugh, Dave Burbage – the list is lengthy.
