[Brighton] Should Brighton & Hove declare independence?

[gregbrighton]

I know it sounds far-fetched but it is worth fighting for.

The Amex would be the national stadium and Shoreham Airport would become Brighton & Hove International Airport.

 

[Mowgli37]

Nah, a unified and independent Sussex for me

 

[KJP]

Shoreham airport isn't in Brighton and hove

 

[gregbrighton]

It's part of the Greater Brighton area.

Indeed

 

[hans kraay fan club]

It's part of the Greater Brighton area.

So you're advocating an agressive new state, that carries out illegal land grabs?

HB&B for President

 

[The Birdman]

We could grab Burwash back from Kent

 

[nicko31]

Just start with SE England about 4 times as many people as there are Scots

 

[Return of the Rev]

we could grab burwash back from kent

or just swap it for haywards heath

Hehehe - This just reminded me of that old film 'Passport to Pimlico' - A true classic

nice idea!

what could possibly go wrong

 

[SeagullinExile]

Shoreham airport isn't in Brighton and hove

It will be when B&H annexes it

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Hehehe - This just reminded me of that old film 'Passport to Pimlico' - A true classic

The remake will be "Passport to Portslade".

Yes. We would annex neighbouring towns.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It's part of the Greater Brighton area.

It's not even in the same county!

 

[halbpro]

I've voted yes, but I'm not sure where we'll get our economic stability from. What is Brighton and Hove's major export? Or can we whack a massive housing tax on people moving down from London? That'd raise a few bob I expect, before it drives them all away.

Expect some very smartly yet divergently dressed gentlemen "Appearing " at Shoreham Airport any day now to seize it for the republic of Brighton.

 

[gregbrighton]

I think our major strength is tourism.

We are already half way there to independence as it is a unitary authority.

 

[jgmcdee]

Wait, Brighton *and* Hove? Why would we want those hangers-on?
