Manx Parliament Upholds Commonwealth Appeal Over Radio Row
In Douglas Isle of Man fiery MP Roy Macdonald saw a resolution to appeal to the Commonwealth rather than the United Nations after Britain ordered pirate station Radio Caroline North off the air by August 15. The lower house walked out as the upper house rejected the UN appeal, and plans may push a delegation to London for mediation with the Commonwealth Secretariat. The issue centers on Manx autonomy under royal assent rules and the island’s fight for recognition as a self-governing crown dependency. Also noted: Tennessee punter Ron Widby led the nation with a 43.83 yard season average, ahead of Oregon State’s Gary Houser.
