Declaration of Independence

We hold these truths self-evident. We got inalienable rights, life and liberty innit.

London with a population greater than Belgium, Sweden, Ireland and many other EU countries and with a culture so different to the land surrounding it known as England does herein declare it's right to self determination.


Where is London?

The borders of London will encompass the Thames and the banks of the Thames from Henley to Gravesend and the land within and including the M25 , Heathrow, Gatwick and the road and rail corridors to our key national transport hubs as well as anywhere accessible by London Underground.

Our nation will be accessible by road, rail, air and sea.

Who is a Londoner?

Diversity is at the core of the London identity. Being a Londoner is a choice and therefore to be recognised as a full citizen of London one must have been born outside of London or have at least one parent born outside of London. Londoners with no external birth or parentage may not vote until they are naturalised. Naturalisation will take place through a process known as 'enlightenment'. Enlightenment will be a points based system with different numbers of points attainable for periods spent overseas or acquiring the ability to speak a Language other than English.

Status

London will be a Republic within the European Union and the Commonwealth.

The Queen may stay resident in London as head of the Commonwealth but will have to pay taxes. It may also be suggested that a relocation to a more suitable location such as Windsor may be more appropriate. Mayor Boris will be instantly elevated to the role of President pending elections which will take place within six months of independence.
