The prime minister of Greenland called for independence from Denmark and removing the “shackles” of colonialism in a strident New Year’s address this week.

The harsh truth is Greenland is not capable of being an independent country. It doesn't generate enough tax revenue to pay for its own government relying on a €500bn annual subsidy from DK. And it couldn't possibly control its own borders, leaving neighbours vulnerable to Russian/Chinese aggression.
UK should state clearly that even if it votes for independence, we will not recognise it and will veto UN membership unless it can demonstrate it won't put us all at risk.
let them vote. Then cut their massive subsidies they keep getting from DK. After that, let them apply for EU membership snd all shebangs. Pathetic opportunistic politicians

Remove the "shackles"of my taxpayer money and use it better elsewhere.
2. If they think they will have it better under US/Trump, I've got a bridge to sell them as well.
3. Good luck, they'll need it.
