Channel Isles want to leave UK!!!

[Welshbeef]

Just heard. A passing conning in the radio news this morning???

Anyone got the whole picture

[DonnyMac]

I caught this briefly as well but think it had a different slant on BBC news24, as a throw away comment before going to a live link of a hyperactive lass poking turbines they mentioned something about the UK off loading the Channel Isles so they cannot be used as tax havens for people living on the mainland?

Could have got it completely wrong though as it was before my second coffee of the morning.

I think London has a greater chance of leaving the UK, than the Channel Islanders.

They're more British for a start

[darreni]

Channel Islands are Independent & not part of the UK.

[marshalla]

They can't. They're not IN the UK.

[philthy]

They could have a "referendum"?

Seriously, lots of pluses for them, and potentially, a lot more.

You can't leave a political set up you aren't currently part of.

They are probably smarting over the recent VAT changes that affected some of their commercial activities.

ONE senior Minister in Jersey suggests it yet the headlines turn it in to a definitive!

Long way from it happening, if at all.

By 2014 there will be no United Kingdom to leave - if Alex Salmond has his way.

The rest of the UK is going to be an amalgamation of England and Wales called Wengland.

Including Norn Iron, that would be Engalesland - Or England for ease.
