Cornwall
Cornwall voted to leave the EU.
Membership of the EU hit Cornwall's fishing industry.
Cornwall is a somewhat neglected area - just like Mississippi in the USA, or Barlanark in Scotland.
Cornwall has no motorways.

If Cornwall was a country, it would be poorer than Lithuania and Hungary.
The EU has been giving Cornwall £60 million (60,000,000) per year, on average.
Compare that with the £14.5 billion (14,500,000,000) UK government expenditure on London's Crossrail project.

In the last 15 years, the EU has put £1 billion into Cornwall - including improving internet connections, and helping fund the Eden Project (a cluster of giant tropical domes) and Newquay Airport.
