Invading will destroy the infrastructure... siege's are much cleaner.. unless you know where we can find a neutron bomb ?

We have countermeasures.

As none of you turnip munching hut-dwellers are familiar with London roads or London traffic, we will direct you all to turn left when you hit the M25 and then leave you orbiting London on the M25 in perpetuity.

no computers, no net access, no moneytap

but we'd already have cut off all utilities and ground connections and started jamming satellite frequencies.. and mobile towers would all be off and decommissioned.
It's good to see rUK adopting a similar attitude towards an independent London that the EU is exhibiting towards an independent UK! You hardcore provincial Brexiteers have more in common with the EC bureaucrats than you think. Sure you don't want to rethink this whole Brexit thing? wink
It's good to see Londoners adopting a similar attitude towards an independent London that Brexiters are exhibiting towards an independent UK! You hardcore Remainers have more in common with Brexiters than you think. Sure you don't want to rethink this whole Brexit thing? wink

What a silly thread this is. beer

What a ridiculous notion, why draw the line at London, my street voted remain, or me and my two neighbours did why cant we vote to remain in the EU?

Democracy gives everyone a vote and you cant throw your toys out of the pram because your side did not win, we support the general consensus of the majority, is that not the whole purpose of democracy?
Only if it goes your way it seems.
Do you think that if the vote had gone the other way we'd have heard the last of Farage and his cohorts? Any more than the 'No' in 2014 meant we saw the back of the SNP? Of course not.

But the 'Reminers' would have been very clear that there wouldn't be another vote for 10+ years, if at all!

Im only a "Little englander" from the midlands, but do people in the Capital really have head so far up arse?

I don't rave about my little section of sherwood forest to myself, even if it is peaceful and close to nature, yeah a bit run down but overall to me it pisses all over the city.

What i don't understand is how self inflated living in some urban sprawl is and that those who don't live in some horrible hipster city that claims its somehow multicultural but the best of London we get up here is the young lad's obsession with inner city gang crime, grime and drugs. Must be great going to the trendy bars in such an urban hell hole.
I don't mind London for a visit. Some great things to see and do. Some grim bits, some nice bits, some bits full of people who don't live on planet earth. But on the whole, no real appeal (though oddly, I like HK and NYC, equally busy and yet, not really a problem, but they seem to cope with masses of people much better).

I'd have given myself a brain aneurysm by now trying to drive or travel to work down there and I'd be flat broke after paying all my money for a cupboard under the stairs. Friend of mine pays a small fortune for a train season pass. Never gets a seat, spends the day working, travelling, sleeping. Thats it. No time for anything else. All to pay a mortgage on a modest house with a ridiculous price.

Floats peoples boats. Not mine. No skin off my nose though.

Another genius post comparing living in/near London with holidaying in Hong Kong and New York.

You do realise how expensive it is to live in NYC don't you?

Oooh, get you, Mr gardyloo Thames crapper...

No matter, your plan will fail as we turn RIGHT on the M25 and unleash our mighty turnip mortars.

Ten laps should do it...tongue out

Did I make any personal overtures towards the opinion you appear to be foisting upon me?

I don't believe that I did.

London would be protected by the US, because Americans (and others) use the (less regulated) City to launder and gamble reckless trillions. An England-Wales-Scotland-NI invasion would get about as far as Twickenham.

It's pathetic that you think you can dictate this countries future.
Where have I done that? Also, "country‘s" not "countries".

Serious question, if you dislike your hometown so much, why not leave?
Where did I say I dislike my hometown 'so much"?

I simply said its unfortunate that I live here, as I'm much happier in rural and coastal areas, which has only transpired as I've got older. That doesn't mean I dislike London. Being in London is like being in a relationship. There are good and bad days.

I'd like to leave London though, if someone could help me find a job on the South/Cornish coast i'd be eternally grateful.
