Residents of Piddington, a tiny Oxfordshire village of around 350 people, have held a protest picnic and voted 96% in favour of a symbolic referendum to secede from the UK in opposition to Government plans to house 1,250 single adult male asylum seekers at a nearby former MoD depot. Women in the village say they are frightened to walk alone at night, with one 73-year-old resident saying: “I’m scared really – it breaks my heart.”
