The Vectis National Party was a minor political party operating on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s.
|
Formed in 1967,1 the party sought Crown dependency status for the Isle of Wight, on a similar model to certain other islands including the Isle of Man.
|
They were motivated by a belief that the sale of the Isle of Wight to the English crown in 1293 was unconstitutional.
|
The party contested the Isle of Wight constituency in the 1970 general election when candidate R. W. J. Cawdell, a councillor for Ryde,4 polled 1,607 votes (2.8 of the Wight vote).
|
The party led it to undertake symbolic direct action, such as an intra-island postal service during the 1971 postal strike.
|
That year it narrowly lost a local government election.
|
It also led campaigns for the establishment of an Isle of Wight specific radio service (which eventually came into being in 1990) and for a regional television service.
|
The party's failure to convince the electorate to break from the traditional parties however led to disillusionment amongst members and by the mid 1970s the party had been wound up.
|
In 2006, Ray Stokes attempted to revive the VNP, emphasizing two aspects: an economically opportunistic deployment of islandness and a conservative, nostalgic impulse.
|
The party was opposed to housing development that would lead to increased migration to the island, and to a fixed link to the island of Great Britain.
|
The revived party did not contest any election.

Ian Douglas Campbell, 11th and 4th Duke of Argyll (18 June 19031 7 April 1973), was a Scottish peer and the Chief of Clan Campbell (Scottish Gaelic: MacCailein Mr).
|
He is chiefly remembered for his unhappy marriage to, and scandalous 1963 divorce from, his third wife, Margaret Whigham.
|
Ian Douglas Campbell was born in Paris, France.
|
He was the son of Douglas Walter Campbell and his wife, Aime Marie Suzanne Lawrence.
|
His paternal grandfather, Lord Walter Campbell, was the third son of the 8th Duke of Argyll.
|
Through his father, he was the great nephew of Queen Victoria's daughter Louise, who married John Campbell, 9th Duke of Argyll, the fourth Governor General of Canada.
|
He was educated at Milton Academy in the United States and Christ Church, Oxford.
|
He served during the Second World War with the rank of captain in the 8th Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and saw combat during the Fall of France.
|
Along with his GOC Maj. Gen. Victor Fortune, the war poet Aonghas Caimbeul, and all surviving members of the 51st (Highland) Division, Captain Campbell surrendered to Wehrmacht General Erwin Rommel at Saint-Valery-en-Caux in Normandy on 12 June 1940.
|
He was held as a prisoner of war until 1945.
|
He inherited the titles Duke of Argyll and Chief of Clan Campbell (Scottish Gaelic: MacCailein Mr) following the death of his first cousin once removed, the 10th Duke, on 20 August 1949.
|
Argyll was married four times.
|
He was known to be addicted to alcohol, gambling, and prescription drugs amphetamine and barbiturates.
|
The Duke was also accused of physical and emotional abuse by his wives, whose money he tried to use for maintaining Inveraray Castle.
|
His five years of mental and physical abuse in Nazis captivity during World War II likely resulted in what is now known as PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) thereby adversely affecting his personality, marriages, family, and personal relationships for the remainder of his life.
|
His first marriage was to Janet Gladys Aitken, daughter of business tycoon and press baron Max Aitken, 1st Baron Beaverbrook, on 12 December 1927.
|
They had a daughter: Ian and Janet divorced in 1934.
|
Argyll's second marriage was to Louise Hollingsworth Morris Vanneck, ne Clews, daughter of Henry Clews Jr. by his wife Louise Hollingsworth Morris (ex-wife 18941901 of Frederick Gebhard) of Baltimore, Maryland, and former wife of Hon.
|
Andrew Vanneck on 23 November 1935.
|
This marriage produced two sons: This marriage also ended in divorce, in 1951.
|
Argyll's third marriage was to Margaret Whigham, mother of Frances, Dowager Duchess of Rutland, from her previous marriage to Charles Francis Sweeny.
|
They were married on 22 March 1951.
|
Margaret was a glittering society figure.
|
While married to the duke, she had affairs with other men including actor Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Duncan Sandys, the minister of defence.
|
The marriage was childless and they divorced in 1963 after the duke found Polaroid photographs of her sexual activities with other men.
|
In the divorce proceedings, the duke produced the photographs, which featured the duchess wearing only her signature triple-string of pearls while fellating an unidentified man.
|
In hearings which gained much media attention, the divorce was granted, though on grounds of adultery with a different man.
|
Argyll's fourth and final marriage was to Mathilda Coster Mortimer7 on 15 June 1963.
|
Mathilda, who was first married to Clemens Heller, founder of the Salzburg Global Seminar, a school in Salzburg, Austria,7 was the granddaughter of New York banker and clubman William B.
|
From this marriage he had a daughter: They remained married until the duke's death on 7 April 1973.
|
They lived in a Paris apartment for years, visiting Scotland only briefly.
|
He had spent much of his youth in France and he was bilingual.
|
He died in a private hospital nursing home in Edinburgh, from the effects of a stroke.
|
He was succeeded by his son Ian.
|
While most dukes and duchesses of Argyll are buried at Kilmun Parish Church, Ian Campbell and his son, the 12th duke, both chose to be buried on the island of Inishail in Loch Awe.

Steppin' Out is a 1976 album containing the works of Neil Sedaka.
|
In America it was the third and final album of a trilogy of albums issued by The Rocket Record Company.
|
(Rocket would issue a compilation album, Neil Sedaka's Greatest Hits, in 1977; but it contained no new material.)
|
Outside America Steppin' Out was issued on the Polydor label.
|
In 1998, the Varse Sarabande label reissued Steppin' Out and included four bonus tracks.
|
The title track peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100, and featured backing vocals by Elton John.
|
AllMusic said "there are no memorable tunes here, and the craft simply doesn't offer the pleasures it once did.
|
Consequently, it's only of interest to hardcore followers".
|
The Windsor Star opined that "I liked Sedaka better when he was still worried about his comeback . there was a hunger then that is missing from this album . even Elton John would find it a bit soft around the edges".
|
Many of the songs on this album were released on 45 rpm singles; some were even included on a 33-13 rpm EP album in the UK.
|
Those songs that saw such a release are as follows: In 1976, Polydor issued an EP in the UK entitled, "Make Your Own Sunshine".
|
This EP included "You Gotta Make Your Own Sunshine" and "Summer Nights" along with "Tit For Tat" and "New York City Blues", two songs from earlier Neil Sedaka albums.

Fabrizio Poletti (Italian pronunciation: fabrittsjo poletti; born 13 July 1943) is an Italian former football manager and player who played as a full-back.
|
He is remembered for his career with Torino, where he played for nine seasons, and won the Coppa Italia twice.
|
He also represented the Italy national team, and was a member of the squad that reached the final of the 1970 FIFA World Cup.
|
Born in Bondeno, in the province of Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, Poletti is mainly remembered for his lengthy spell with Serie A club Torino (196271), after joining the club in 1962, at the age of 18, winning two Coppa Italia titles during his time with the club (during the 196768 and 197071 seasons).
|
After being acquired by the senior team during the 196061 season, but not making any appearances, at the beginning of his club career, Poletti initially played on loan for AC Asti (196162) in Serie D, making his professional debut with the club, and scoring 2 goals in 24 appearances, before returning to Torino the following season.
|
He made his debut with the club on 21 October 1962, in a 10 away defeat to Genoa in Serie A.
|
During his nine seasons in Turin, he made 275 official appearances for the club (224 in Serie A, with 18 goals, 37 in the Coppa Italia, with 4 goals, and 14 appearances in European Competitions, with 1 goal, as well as 10 in friendly matches, bringing his total to 285 appearances), scoring 23 goals, and is the club's 14th highest appearance holder.
|
Alongside his team-mate Natalino Fossati, he formed one of the strongest full-back pairings in Serie A at the time, developing into an efficient two-way full-back, who contributed both offensively and defensively, under the tutelage of manager Nereo Rocco.
|
During his time at the club, he was also the main penalty taker, despite being a defender, which allowed him to contribute with several goals throughout his career.
|
Poletti later moved to Cagliari (197174),3 and subsequently for a season at Sampdoria, where he ended his career at the end of the 197475 season, making 5 appearances (and one additional appearance in a friendly).
|
In total, he spent 13 seasons in Serie A, making 294 appearances and scoring 20 goals, also making 344 career appearances, scoring 24 goals.
|
Poletti earned six caps for the Italy national team between 1965 and 1970, making his debut on 16 June 1965 against Sweden.
|
Poletti also made six appearances for the Italian B side, and was a member of the Italian team that won the gold medal at the 1963 Mediterranean Games in Naples.
|
He also notably played for Italy in the 1970 FIFA World Cup Semi-final victory against West Germany, known as "the Match of the Century", coming on for the injured Roberto Rosato in extra-time; despite their performance, he and the Italian goalkeeper Albertosi are often held responsible for Gerd Mller's goal, due to a defensive misunderstanding between the two players.
