There is no doubt that the south west suffers from economic depravation, which is surprising since this area attracts so many tourists.
Having visited Torquay last year, I was struck by how run down the town centre was.

That is the problem with quite a few places sadly OB that have plenty of tourists but not much else apart from a few attractions.

One of the areas of the UK that will be hit most by the withdrawal of EU funding ( Cornwall is getting over 1000 euro per person EU funding between 2014 - 2020). So if you think its bad now....
You can bet any savings from Brexit won't get channelled as much to the regions, but stay in the SE where the rich will continue to get richer. This is also about personal gain from the likes of JRM and Bozza. They care not for the regional plebs, but do care about personal wealth and power for themselves.

Part of it will simply be geography. They aren't really part of the main land mass. You have to travel a long way to get anywhere. Eg 140miles from Truro to Bristol.

And your evidence for that is........?
The bulk of any "EU" money actually comes from the UK in the first place. Eg Any money received is deducted from the 66% EU rebate. Disregarding our net contribution to the EU, 2/3rds of that money has come from the UK.

Newcastle is further from London than Truro (by 20 miles).

But you can drop off at other places along the way. A lot of the central distribution places are in the south midlands(eg Northampton), because of the ease of UK wide distribution. Newcastle also has it's problems because of its relative geographic isolation.
Let's face it, it you want to go anywhere other than somewhere like Bristol from Devon/Cornwall, you have to go a very long way. They are relatively geographically isolated.

Has anyone said otherwise? English areas are funded on a system of formulae, which use many different social and geographical factors. Ie Areas that have issues get more funding. Scotland is different in that they have so much money, they can hand out freebies of various kinds. If the Barnett formula was stopped for Scotland they would still get extra funding because of the funding formulae, but nowhere near as much as they get now. They would still be fairly funded.

Maybe it's a moot point as the climate will do it sooner?

Same here. I hope it's the SNP and Sturgeon that disappear first. Better yet, send all the Nats off to a distant Island and let them run that into the ground.
