Independence for London
Discussion
If Scotland gets another referendum because they don't want to be dragged out of the EU against their will, why can't we have the same in London.
We've voted overwhelmingly in favour of staying in. I'm pretty sure we could go it alone. I suspect the wealth generated in London subsidises most of the rest of the country anyway. I feel I have more in common with Parisians, Berliners etc than I do with the good folk of Burnley.
So what about it Londoners? Let's get out and leave the rest of the UK to it.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not, but have you considered that an independent London would have a land border with the UK and only the UK? Or that all the military power resides outside of London? The rest of the country would shut you off and starve you out and it's a long way for Scotland to come to your rescue.We've voted overwhelmingly in favour of staying in.

And then what, you don't like whoever is put in charge of an independent London's policies so you push for your street to become independent and then your own house?
I don't get it how people really struggle with the fact that not everyone has the same opinion as them.
The majority voted to leave, it's a democratic vote. Whether it's for better or for worse we'll just have to wait and see.

I will use the same argument the leave campaign has used. The rest of the UK will be desperate to do business with us once we leave, because we're so rich and our streets are paved with gold. We will sign advantageous trade agreements with farmers from the rest of the UK. TwigtheWonderkid said:

How sad and petty a thing to say. Congrats, you guys in the city sure do put us countryside folk in our place. Sorry for not understanding the insane complexities of urban life.rich1231 said:
Hmm I would hazard a guess that a great many wealth creators in London.. actually commute in from elsewhere...
Great, and they can still come in daily. We'll have no problem with immigrant workers. Loads of builders and labourers in London working here during the week, and go back to Easter Europe every weekend. No different from returning to Surrey each evening. They'll all be very welcome.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
