Animated Isle of Wight Postcards: Local landmarks as you’ve never seen them before

It’s some time since we last shared Justin Mason’s Animated Isle of Wight Postcards, but his latest in the series popped into our inbox this week and it’s a cracker.

Justin takes vintage Isle of Wight postcards and cleverly animates them into humorous scenes, such as a giant scrunched up piece of paper being thrown at Carisbrooke Castle and it flipping like a bin lid, or Sandown Pier doubling up as a party blower.

Thank you for NEU locally raising the issue of poverty on the Island. There has clearly been an increase in Poverty on the Island in the last 12 months and we need to keep this issue prominent. I raised the issue of Period Poverty last year at IW Council and earlier this year, as stated in the article, proposed a successful motion for the IW Council to… Read more »

Hi Michael I’m sure you’d agree with me that the main cause of the poverty highlighted here is the Tory Party and the policies it has pursued both nationally and locally. So perhaps you could explain how, as an oft-quoted opponent of those policies and that party, you square that opposition with your deal with the Tories on Ryde Town Council in which you vote for Tory… Read more »

Dear Michael and Julian, Isn’t it time to lay party-political differences aside and work together on what we all agree on: that child poverty is unacceptable. On a national basis I do agree with Julian that the vast majority of these problems can safely be laid on the Tory government’s door. But in the meantime, as there do not seem any elections on the horizon to change… Read more »

Firstly, this isn’t me talking as IoW Labour chair. This is me talking as Ryde Town Councillor (and resident) of Ryde North West. Nothing about this concerns the IoW Labour Party. There’s nothing petty about this, unfortunately. Michael gave his support to the Tories in order to get himself the mayoral chain. In return he voted against Sue Lyons in order to install Adrian Axford, one of… Read more »

Dear Julian, You will be pleased to know Cllr Geoff Brodie let me know of your tirade against me. I would normally just get on with life and ignore such political rantings under the mantra of sticks and stones will break my bones but words will not hurt me. However, I do think I need to respond just to correct the record. Yes, I am not a… Read more »

I find some people are “sick and tired of tribal politics” right up until the point when they can personally benefit from one of those tribes.

I hope the chain feels worth it.

The root cause of poverty on the island is our isolation from the mainland, its detailed in the SLEP’s IIIP report. If the politicians feel more comfortable point scoring off each other that’s up to them but the real issue is their collective inability to stand up to the ferry company duopoly and unwillingness to investigate further other potential infrastructure options.

No matter what point scoring Cllr Critchley and Moody may try to make I feel confident that Michael Lilley will do a fantastic job of representing the people of Ryde simply because he cares about the people of Ryde. Cllr Critchley needs to learn that at last we have a Ryde town Council that puts politics aside and concentrates on the real issues facing Ryde as a… Read more »

Party Politics + point scoring off each other has no place on either Town or Parish Councils. Likewise at Local Council level. All those elected should be doing their very best for the residents they represent. Nothing else!
