That narrows it down to a very large number.Depends who it is you killed.
If it was someone like that Irish dipper bloke I’d let it slide.

Geoffrey Epstein says helloI seem to remember reading The Beatles wanted to buy an island in the hippie days and all live on it like a little independent commune making weed and LSD legal, however when they found out all these islands for sale came under the laws of whatever country 'owned them' in an administrative sense they binned the idea.
Interesting conversation came up over dinner today. Suppose I buy a small island off the coast of Scotland and declare independence. Then someone visits my island from the UK and I murder them using a hedgehog gutter brush. It's my island and I haven't made a law making murder illegal. Can I still be prosecuted?
A unilateral Declaration of Independence from UK would be ruled illegal. See Rhodesia.Even if I've legally purchased it and declared myself independent?
Yeah but I'm independent now so UK rules wouldnt count. basic logic mateA unilateral Declaration of Independence from UK would be ruled illegal. See Rhodesia.
No you’re not independent, it would be illegal ab initio.Yeah but I'm independent now so UK rules wouldnt count. basic logic mate
Why would someone visit your island?Interesting conversation came up over dinner today. Suppose I buy a small island off the coast of Scotland and declare independence.

Bro it's my island. I make the rulesNo you’re not independent, it would be illegal ab initio.
To try my chocolate flavoured candy flossWhy would someone visit your island?
Clearly you haven't seen it.Why would someone visit your island?
As it happens I was awarded a lordship of the principality of Sealand in 2021 for services that included (or more accurately, consisted of) sending prince Michael £30 - but still, officially Lord Uwe…See what the PM of Sealand thinks
Mate I'd send a witty reply but this stupid hedgehog has got himself stuck behind the sofa. I woke him up early and now he's kicking off . NightmareHave Bluemoons legal team come up with a foolproof defence yet ?
I mean come on, if youve got a legal team you expect answers. The legal team, well they've had long enough.
Of course, the legal team should come up with answers that suit you.
Otherwise there is no point in having a legal team.
Have I mentioned legal team enough ?
Very specific choice of murder weapon. Have you already committed the crime?Interesting conversation came up over dinner today.

Dear Mr BaldryI represent Spiney Norman, the patent holder of the design known commonly as "Hedgehog Gutter Brush". My client's attention has been drawn to a libelous claim that his design - and specifically his tool - has been utilised in a murder admitted by yourself. Whilst you preface your comments with the cowardly words, "...suppose I...." the fact is that everyone knows that you either have committed this heinous act already; are contemplating it; or, that you are very clearly encouraging and condoning the murderous use of my client's precious tool. This cannot be tolerated and I am instructed to intervene on Mr. Norman's behalf - he is outraged.
All legal matters related to the use of Mr. Norman's tool are governed by the laws of the United Kingdom, as you will certainly have realised upon reading the instruction manual, which is conscientiously enclosed in the packaging of each of tool. His tool should be handled with extreme care, so that it can be inserted into the orifice for which it was so meticulously created - as you will surely have realised upon purchasing same. In the event that you didn't purchase same yourself, and even if this murder is pure invention on your part, it makes little difference to my client, whose reputation is now sullied, and he'll probably be unable to exploit use of his tool gainfully in the near future - and potentially never again. You have ruined his tool.
My client's potential losses are incalculable. Damages are claimed against you. Indeed, as your murderous claims have been made on the social media platform known as "Blue Moon", damages are claimed against the proprietors of said platform also, but, such claims against the latter will be disregarded for the moment, seeing as City are currently a pile of shite, and the said proprietors must be a bunch of heavily depressed Berts, and could well do without a writ being served upon them.
You, Sir, however, appear to be a cad of the highest order, and in the absence of a generous settlement proposal being received within 7 days, my client instructs me that he will parachute onto your island thereafter without warning, and will confront you with his tool, fighting you with it until you die.
So, as we lawyers often say, "think on, matey-boy!" Get your cheque book out, or else!
Yours sincerely,
