I am not in a position to comment whether East Anglia is likely now, or in the future, to declare independence. But neither is ICANN. The main point is that ICANN has to hold all two-letter latin combinations in reserve, in case they are assigned some day by ISO 3166/MA.

Fast Track getting ahead of policy decisions.
They are probably not saying that East Anglia has priority over Greece. They are probably just saying that is beyond the scope the Fast Track to allow it at this time.
