Residents of the small leafy Oxfordshire village of Piddington have delivered a thunderous rebuke to Westminster's latest asylum experiment.
With roughly 180 adults casting ballots on July 4, 175 backed holding a referendum on breaking away from the United Kingdom in protest against plans to house up to 1,250 single adult male asylum seekers at an adjacent former Ministry of Defence Site.
That works out to a 96% yes vote in a community of around 370 people where decisions about their future are being made without them.
This really is an unbelievable story and just about sums up the UK right now.

The move comes after the Home Office announced in late June it would convert the redundant military storage facility - sitting right between Piddington and Upper Arncott - into basic accommodation for single men aged 18 to 65.
Utility companies have already received instructions to prepare power, water and sewage connections, with work eyed for late August or early September. No detailed pub
