I've got to say I'm still shocked by the way the vote went in Wales, as one of the biggest net recipients of EU funding. To take a punt on the Tories in Westminster matching that funding seemed a very big gamble.

I heard a similar story about Cornwall, too.

Not as shocked as most of us are here 71.6% turnout to shoot themselves in the foot. Like I say there's many here deeply regretting it especially the farmers who are going to be royally screwed. As you say the EU funding has been crucial to us but those who voted to leave don't seem to understand that things are going to get a lot worse, those figures are increasingly becoming more silent. It's really the two ukip members who are shouting about it and the usual petty racists who are just anti immigrant without any idea why.

On the other side of this there's been renewed calls for independence in Wales which is slowly but steadily growing. If Scotland leaves I expect NI and Wales will follow.
