Residents in the English village of Barnham, Suffolk, are exploring a referendum on seceding from the United Kingdom, in protest of government plans to house over 1,200 asylum seekers . PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: The village of Barnham, Suffolk, is considering following Piddington in holding a referendum to declare independence from London over plans by Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s Labour Party government to house 1,250 male asylum seekers at a former Royal Air Force (RAF) base nearby.
