London should be made independent. Then they'd need a costly 'Berlin Airlift' style operation for food and essentials. They'd be eating each other and drinking their own piss by Wednesday.
Not much farmland within the M25...
How much farming is there in Monaco? Last time I was there, they didn't look like they were starving to death. Quite the opposite in fact, it looked pretty affluent. Not much farmland within the M25...

I'm sure that if you're trying to rip us off, someone else will agree to do it for £900. Then you might come back at £800. Eventually a free market will settle upon the right price.We're dumping the UK, but we'll hang on to capitalism thanks.

Stockport voted to remain too, can they be independent?
Has Stockport got the economic viability to go it alone? I wouldn't have thought so, but I'm no expert on Stockport. Is it a world financial centre, does it attract millions of tourists. Could it survive as an independent state?Stockport voted to remain too, can they be independent?
London could. Not so sure about Stockport but open to being put right.

Hey Twig, serious question. Is this a serious thing for you or are you just yanking the thread chain as you do.
It started as satire, but some of the vitriol has been very revealing. Amazing how people are happy to dump the EU, but when they think someone wants to dump them, they really can't hack it. John145 said:
If London went independent, do you think there could be import tarriffs on things such as food, water, electricity? Or do they forget all this stuff comes from the rest of the world and maybe they should be less insular.
If an independent London was able to stay in the EU then there would be no import tariffs from EU countries. There could be when importing from the rest of Britain which would be outside the EU. But I'm sure a trade deal could be done. After all, that's what the Brexiteers have been telling us! As stated before, does Monaco produce it's own food, water and power? I doubt it, yet they seem to be just about surviving!!!!!!

tty place tbh.I have and that's true. But there isn't famine, drought or constant power cuts. Well not that I saw. Somehow, they are managing to get food, water and power despite the lack of farms, reservoirs or power stations. I suspect they import them.

Without London, you lot would be scavenging for roots.
....and after you've served your sentence working in The City, many will want to retire to all that pleasant countryside, the rolling hills, streams and mountains full of fresh air. No doubt all that is readily available in London.
Oh, and for the record, here's a shot of London. As said, 47% is green space.
