Part of it will simply be geography. They aren't really part of the main land mass. You have to travel a long way to get anywhere. Eg 140miles from Truro to Bristol.

You can bet any savings from Brexit won't get channelled as much to the regions, but stay in the SE where the rich will continue to get richer. This is also about personal gain from the likes of JRM and Bozza. They care not for the regional plebs.

The bulk of any "EU" money actually comes from the UK in the first place. Eg Any money received is deducted from the 66% EU rebate. Disregarding our net contribution to the EU, 2/3rds of that money has come from the UK.
