District of Columbia to be withdrawn, Washington will become part of VA or MD

It was announced today that the District of Columbia (D.C.) is to be withdrawn from the USA and Washington, the capital of the United States is to be come part of either Virginia or Maryland, based on a vote.

The vote will take place on December 31st by residents of D.C. and the result will be announced on the 1st January.

If Virginia wins the vote then Washington will officially be placed in Fairfax County, if Maryland wins then it will be in Montgomery County. Either way it shouldn't make much of a dent to the wallets of residents because to live in the suburbs of Washington D.C. you must be extremely minted.

But that has not stopped people complaining about this proposal. Throughout November and December there will be several protests in Washington D.C. from residents of both states.

Currently, the D.C. state line starts just south of Silver Spring and circles around the city ending just near Alexandria. However in the new year this could all change.

The fear of residents is that the taxes will raise in which ever state Washington becomes part of. One Virginian could be heard saying "Leave my wallet alone!".

The integration will take place on 1st January 2013.

Spaceship on Motorway

A spaceship toppled off its trailer and ended up on one of the busiest sections of the M20.

The flying saucer, believed to be a Universe Liner 5300, worth around 600,000 Space Dollars fell onto the motorway just after midday on Saturday.

It was being towed on the motorway towards London by an alien believed to be from the planet Neptune, when the accident happened between junction 2 for Wrotham and the M25 interchange at Swanley.

No-one was injured in the accident but it caused some problems on the motorway yesterday and some repairs to the spaceship have been required.
