The British town that really wants to leave Europe

The British town that really wants to leave Europe

In Romford Market a busker's jaunty tune wafts over shoppers wandering under flapping Union Jacks.
"Stop your messing around. Better think of your future," he sings.
Last month Romford delivered its own message to European lawmakers: Leave.
In Havering, the borough where the town is situated, 70% of people voted to exit the European Union, making it one of the places with the highest percentage of Leave voters.
This is not rural England, where so many Brexiters hailed from. Romford is a mere 17 miles from Parliament, but a world away from London's liberal elite -- some of whom were so disappointed by the outcome they've called for the capital to break away from the UK and form its own city-state.
