8:36Now PlayingA village in Oxfordshire is threatening to declare independence from the UK over plans to house over 1,000 asylum seekers nearby.
Residents of Piddington are angry about a lack of consultation over the single male adults being housed at a military base in Bicester, which could be open as soon as Christmas.
The village, which has 370 residents, has voted to hold a referendum after the Home Office announced the plans for the 1250 asylum seekers.
Held on July 4 to coincide with the 250th anniversary of American independence, 96% of the village said they wanted a referendum.
