It's not. Wales, the South West and North East receive the most funding from the EU and also voted leave by some of the biggest margins. The exceptions are NI, who also receive a huge amount of EU finds and who voted remain and the Scottish Highlands, who also voted remain.

Mapped: Where in the UK receives most EU funding and how does this compare with the rest of Europe?

Stop using facts and telling the truth .... you know brexiters don't like that

note that the areas where intelligent people (the ones with great universites) live have far higher numbers.
Oxford, Cambridge, Ediburgh.

North Wales, Yorkshire, Northern Ireland ... not so many - (excluding Nick Clegg's old seat where they probably feel really guilty)
