Why is nobody talking about rich leave voters btw? And well off pensioners? It is always the "left behind" that are seen as the leave causers... :)
This. Haven't loads of studies confirmed that lots of leavers are actually pretty well off and the stereotype of poor vote leave, wealthy vote remain isn't accurate?

Some of these areas have gotten EU funding which will then be gone. (ironically, developing regions funding was a tory idea!)
There was funding available for flood defense/food banks, Cameron turned it down. It would not surprise me if there are more pots that can be accessed if the UK would only...ask. So Remain can definitely point that out, though some people just shrugged when the nice new business park paid for with EU money was mentioned. No idea what to do there...
