We need a wall around Sussex and make Kent pay for it, reinstate the monarchy of Sussex either look for a descendant of Harold Godwinson or just crown the duke of Sussex declare independence from the UK and apply to join the EU

You sound like Trump with your wall idea, very weird.

Lewes is home to the senior druids of the UK, has a lot of druid activities as a result. There's times a night out in Lewes can genuinely make you realise how tame the rest of the country is, and I'm not just talking November 5th. It's a place with many secrets and craziness just under the surface and every now and then it pops out. I've been lucky to be there a few times to see some very memorable and odd times.

Oh I do like a good analogy I think I can see what you mean but just so I have this clear let's suppose hypothetically that a group of people were to declare independence from another group of people that lets use your analogy that they all liked a good bacon sandwich and that while being part of this larger joint group had agreed the rules for the ingredients of this bacon sandwich, now because this new smaller group wanted control regarding the ingredients of the bacon sandwich that's clearly independence I think I get that so far.

Now using the same analogy this newly independent group of bacon sandwich loving people's still need to get ingredients, they could go back to the group they just left or they could get them from another group of people that sell the ingredients for a lower price all good so far, however by doing so they loose any control over how the ingredients were sourced and produced, so while gaining independence they simultaneously loose indipendace and to make matters worse these new ingreadants may have been genetically modified, feed growth hormones or washed in chemical solutions to improve there transportation shelf lifetime, I can see why they would want to give up eating meat!

So to truly declare independence this group of people would need too produce there own ingredients luckly this sandwich doesn't contain any ingredients that could not be sourced from within the group, other wise this independence seeking bacon sandwich loving people's might need to start gaining a taste turnip sandwiches #takebackthebaconroll

Or, using your analogy, be able to source those ingredients from all over the world, imposing their own standards that food has to meet before it can be imported, without limiting your suppliers to one trading block who try to prevent even cheaper food from coming in from outside of the zone it governs?

Most of those from Lewes have long since left. It's mainly DFL's living there now, as the younger generations of Lewesians got priced out of the housing market and forced to move elsewhere rather than be able to stay in their home town

Maybe but imposing our standards would be part of any negotiations entered into between the Kingdom of Sussex and the the supplying country or trading block this could take years so until then we will either turn our tastes to turnip rolls or accept the standards imposed.
