    So should we allow London to become the EU's newest city state, independent of the remainder of the UK? I think many Londoners are not committed to the rest of the UK.

    If that's what they really want
    But I think that London needs the remainder of the UK more than the rest of the UK needs London ;)

    I don't think that is untrue of any part of the UK - especially now.

    I am so disappointed I think this is the start of the breakup of the U.K. All Eu politics aside I really don't want to see Scotland go their own way or a United Ireland.
    Why not? seems !!!!!! to have a tiny island split in two like Korea & Cyprus

    Many of the highish (£60k+) paid people in London probably live in Milton Keynes etc so they're screwed

    I don't think we'll have to wait another 8 years for that. In fact, this is probably the beginning and the end may well extend beyond 2024.

    See alex salmonds spouting off on tv about another scottish independance vote!
    I thought he had resigned after the last vote? i live near scotland myself most of the time a lot of scots seem to just want to spite the english anyways.
    Free prescriptions,hospital parking,university fees etc,i can see scotland from my house but get none of that.

    Sure theres going to be uncertainty,but its got to be better than what we had with the eu,if theyd only taken the uk serious and given a little bit in david camerons negotiations things might have been different,but no it had to be all their own way.
    I wouldnt be surprised to see a few more countries calling for a referendum now!
