    Cornwall pleas for reassurance it will not be 'worse off' following Brexit vote

    Cornwall has issued an urgent plea for reassurance that it will not be worse off following the Brexit vote.

    The county has received a "significant amounts" of funding from the EU for the past 15 years due to its "relatively weak economy".

    But, after 56.5% of voters in the county chose to leave the Union, the council says it is now seeking urgent reassurance that money allocated to it will still be received.

    Prior to the vote the Council said they were told by the Leave campaign that funding would still be available.

    They also said they had been told Cornwall "would not be worse off" in terms of investment they received.
    Now that we know the UK will be leaving the EU we will be taking urgent steps to ensure that the UK Government protects Cornwall’s position in any negotiations.

    We will be insisting that Cornwall receives investment equal to that provided by the EU programme which has averaged £60M per year over the last ten years.

    – JOHN POLLARD, THE LEADER OF CORNWALL COUNCIL
    Cornwall can piss off. London money for Londoners only.

    The true tragedy of this vote will be the decline of the Premier League. Needing work permits for the South American talent is bad enough, now the continental players will have to do the same.
