[Brighton] Should Brighton & Hove declare independence?

[vegster]

It's not even in the same county!

That sort of thing never fazed the Russians.

 

[Paskman]

let's bomb Worthing?

 

[pastafarian]

where will we keep our nuclear submarines?

 

[gregbrighton]

where will we keep our nuclear submarines?

The Marina or Shoreham Harbour.

 

[SeagullinExile]

The Marina or Shoreham Harbour.

Or Eastbourne could be annexed too?

 

[sherrinned]

Virtually no one who lives there was actually born there. Which is why I no longer do

Well given the clear expansionist philosophy out new nation is displaying there's no reason we can't make aggressive moves towards Portsmouth. Get a proper naval base.

 

[easynow]

Shoreham airport isn't in Brighton and hove

Not with that attitude.

It was, but isn't now. You'd have to annexe Plymouth to get a proper naval base.

Independence for all areas covered in the BN postcode area.
Let's start building a big wall.

that's more like it!

The record of us residents of Brighton and Hove voting sensibly isn't great, so to become independent and agree on a sensible governing body doesn't bode well.

We'll bomb you back (minding The Amex of course).......

Independent Brighton may be run by a 'Green' party - good luck

It'd surely be sufficient as an initial naval base though? Just because it's not used as much now it still seems to have the facilities for our fledgling navy. I mean HMS Illustrious was there for decommissioning last time I was there, so it's clearly capable of docking an aircraft carrier, and I think one of the births (0 perhaps) can work with subs. Enough for a start.

I was feeling a bit left out.

President Simon Hew Dalrymple Fanshawe OBE!

 

[Captain Sensible]

We are Unique, 100% yes!
We can turn it into a Dubai of England and live off the tourism.

surely an independent Brighton will need Worthing to ship all the old duffers off to when they turn 65 and become a burden.

much better to carpet bomb Croydon and send out a positive message to the wider community

 

[Triggaaar]

I've voted yes, but I'm not sure where we'll get our economic stability from.

Just like half of Scotland
