i understand that, however leavers are frankly not interested about life without a Portuguese deli, Polish bakery, Italian or Greek restaurant or Belgian bar.
The Italians started arriving from the early 1800's and established roots in Glasgow, Manchester, Bedford and London.

Yeah, there's people like that all over the country, immigrants don't only live in London, and plenty of people in London voted leave, even in the most remain heavy areas a quarter of people who voted did so to leave, and 4/10 in London overall did the same, that's not insignificant. Treating an urban/rural blurred split (pretty much everywhere has at least a quarter, closer to half that voted against the result in each area) as a London/RoUK split will further alienate other urban centres that already feel they get a bit of a raw deal at times from a London centric government when ideally you want to get them on the same page.
