Tiny Shetland island declares independence

"Forvik owes no allegiance to any United Kingdom government, central or local, and is not bound by any of its statutes," Hill wrote.


"I also invite anyone from any country in the world, who supports these aims, namely to become free of liars, thieves and tyrants in government, to become a citizen of Forvik," he added.


Long live Forvik!

Forvik, please research The Patriot for guidelines in dealing with redoats.
People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.

He's not declaring independence. He's trying to change the legal status of Forvik within the United Kingdom. I expect the government will simply ignore him and continue to treat it as they always have. After all, they don't really care either way given nobody lives there. If they just wait 20 years the problem will resolve itself on his death. Provided no other countries recognise his Forvik then the UKs claim that it belongs to them outweighs his claim that it doesn't.
This is basically non news. Some mad hermit is talking crap and nobody is listening.

" "There will be no income tax, VAT (value added tax), council tax, corporation tax, or any of the other taxes instituted by the British government," Hill wrote."

will there be jobs?

This is almost as good as that British guy who tried to make his own country on one of the old WWII gun installations of the coast or smething.

Well my father buys the Mail (which I don't endorse!) but they do make the news interesting.

They were talking about it on the News Quiz also and Sandi was ripping into him.
According to them he applied for planning permission to get a permanent structure up! Which if he's ignoring all UK law he doesn't need. And his permanent structure is made of corrigated plastic and bits of wood he found... so clearly he doesn't understand the meaning of the word permanent either.

What puzzles me most though is since he lives in a tent how does he have a website?

"Oh no, we've drawn Judge Schneider" "Is that bad?" "Well, he's had it in for me ever since I kinda ran over his dog" "You did?" "Yeah...if you replace the word *kinda* with *repeatedly*...and the word *dog* with son"
