U.K. village plans independence vote in protest over migrant housing plans

The village of Piddington in England will hold a vote to ask if it should become independent from the United Kingdom. The vote is a protest against government plans to use an old military barracks near the village to house people who are seeking asylum. Many villagers say the plan will change their quiet community and they do not want it. The vote has no legal power, but it shows how strongly they feel.
