A tiny English town is staging a radical protest by planning to secede from the UK and join the U.S., sparked by outrage over a migrant housing facility near their community. With over 1,250 migrants potentially housed there, locals are demanding change — some even comparing their movement to George Washington’s legacy. If their internal referendum passes, they’ll deliver their “Declaration of Independence” straight to the U.S. Embassy. While some see it as a bold stand against what they call an inhumane policy, others fear it’ll fracture their community. The vote to even hold the referendum has already passed — making this one of the strangest, most dramatic political protests you’ll ever hear.
