	Isle of Wight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Isle of Wight, along with the adjoining regions of Hampshire and Kent, was invaded and settled in the late fourth century onwards by the Jutes, who (some believe) became victims of a policy of ethnic cleansing by the West Saxons.
		Because of its accessibility and closeness to the mainland, the Isle of Wight is a popular destination for British holidaymakers, especially the seaside towns of Ryde, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater and Yarmouth, as well as other smaller towns and villages in different parts of the island.

		This amalgamation of the Isle of Wight and Hampshire is an inequitable situation, not only because the Island is physically separated from the mainland and the effects of insularity are severe, but also because there are such glaring differences between the economies and wealth of the two areas.
		The Isle of Wight is seeking the parity of treatment which is already afforded to other regions, in particular islands, of the UK and Europe.
		The Isle of Wight has an overwhelming and clearly demonstrable case for assistance, a claim that does not rest solely on the problems of insularity and a low and downward spiralling G.D.P., but on a range of indicators which highlight the permanence and severity of the Island’s situation.
