Yikes.

If I'm not mistaken The North/NorthEast had the highest level of EU funding in Britain after Wales. 

My region was one of the lowest, and even then it's all spent in the big cities. My county is extremely rural and takes about half an hour to travel 10 miles - if there even is a road. I've never seen evidence of an EU project in the towns I frequent.

I live on an A-road between two of the major cities in my area, and the bus service to either city is once per hour on weekdays only, stopping before 6pm.

Sounds like where my dad lives and where one of my friends stays. Great Harwood and Upholland. 

 

The biggest blow will come from Scotland if they leave. The capital is bad at funding and supporting regions the further north you go.
