Someone I know from Lincolnshire once told me that they could survive without the rest of the UK because they had everything they needed (i.e Farmland) and that they could build a wall around the county.
They seemed to forget they have literally nothing else!
Exactly. Are all the pesticides, fertilizers, tractors, spare parts for tractors, potato sacks, etc. also made in Lincolnshire??They seemed to forget they have literally nothing else!

So that I may understand the comparison, which parts of Monaco are equivalent to each London borough - Tower Hamlets, for example?
That's a good question. I'm more than willing to accept financing for this project to allow me to spend extensive time in Monaco so that I can provide a full and accurate statement regarding this issueAs the administrative centre, London leaving the UK would be a bit messy.
Are we really talking about the UK shrinking it's border to the M25 and leaving the remainder a nameless, un-governed, dystopian, no-mans-land?
I would recommend the UK keeping Sussex, Surrey and Kent so it is not land-locked and has somewhere to live and grow stuff.
(Guess who lives in Surrey and commutes to the city for work)

Yep , the place is a toilet, you only go there when you have too.Having said that, 1.5 million Londoners voted to leave (around 2/3rds of the remain vote), so they are not all sneering, pompous, arrogant know alls.

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.
Why can't they have the same in Cambridge or Cheltenham or...Because it's a ridiculous idea being punted by sore losers who thought they were going to get a Remain vote and are now looking out from a pram to see where their teddy went.
How much cash will you place on a bet that London will get independence?
Political agitation gets funnier by the year.

They can try if they want, although I guess not many people in those 2 cities would seriously think they had the financial ability to go it alone. But we do. Out of interest did Obama say where 'you' would be in the queue for a trade deal?
You didn't answer the question though - how much of your own money will you be placing on a bet that London gets a vote and wins independence?
It's pure bluster, piffle and poppycock.

I think this is part of the point some Londonders miss; the location of large parts of national infrastructure and admin are, to varying extents, arbitrary and in the capital's favour.It's a brilliant idea, actually, I should be PM - Is there a vacancy?
Obviously I'll only take the job if I can continue to work from home

Were you born in 1820?Twig - I love London very much. It's one of the best cities in the world. But part of that is because s
tholes like those three boroughs that were at the top of the remain list can be offset by visiting the rest of this green and pleasant land (and I don't just mean my old haunt of Richmond).Also, everybody knows that all the intelligence, guile and gumption in London is provided by immigration from Yorkshire and elsewhere in the country. So isolate yourself by all means but you're going to have to think about your policies a bit. (The subsidies London provides the rest of the UK are kind of a downpayment on its future workforce
).Finally, where are your country piles going to be? And who will look after them for you?
Typical Remain voter. Can't think further than his nose

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.
Definitely. All those Parisians I'm sure feel a huge affinity with all those living in those horrible squalid estates and tower blocks around London We've voted overwhelmingly in favour of staying in.
