Poor places with poorly educated people sold 'better financial deal' vote that way unfortunately.
Myrthr Tydfil voted out of the EU, even though their roads, bypasses, schools, leisure centre and major tourist attraction (Bike Park Wales) was funded significantly by the European Development fund - because it's a poor shithole.
Also happens to be the only place on my South>North wales bike ride where a welsh chav in a 3 series beemer buzzed me on my bike, before stopping and yelling at me that I shouldn't be on the (empty) road.
Almost enough to make me think screw 'em all, but kids live there too, along with, I'm sure, nice people.
