No, Welsh people voted to leave - almost a million of them. Over a million Scots did the same. More people in each of London and the South East voted remain than both Wales and Scotland combined

By contrast, 1.5 million Londoners voted to leave.

Perhaps grow up a bit, stop relying on delusional bullshit about ‘colonists’ (as you put it in another comment) or your idiotic ‘no true Welshman’ and ‘every Englishman’ waffling and respect the fact that in a democracy, sometimes we don’t win and get what we want.

No English colonists voted to leave. Perhaps grow up a bit and understand the colonial nature of England:

This (incredibly flaky) bit of post-hoc ‘research’ from Dorling doesn’t actually substantiate your idiotic claim at all, and the fact you think it does is embarrassing. Also fun that Swansea is apparently an ‘English’ city and Carmarthenshire, Flintshire and the Rhondda are ‘English’ local authorities since they registered a leave vote, whereas Monmouthshire - actually on the border and historically very English - voted Remain.

Adding in the use of the term ‘colonists’ too is comedy gold. A sort of Poundland Glyndwr, trying to grievance monger his way through life.

Oh darling, your insults just strengthen the Welsh independence movement. Dismissing research into your countries activities and influence on others is cute. Yet you present zero return argument beyond ‘trust me bro’. Classic Englishman

You’re having to pretend anyone who didn’t vote a particular way in a referendum a decade ago isn’t Welsh, cupcake. That reeks of utter weakness and desperation. You clearly hate large parts of your own country.

It’s also incredibly funny to see you flail about ‘no argument’ here when the actual numbers from Welsh local authorities are presented, and your whining is completely demolished in one incredibly easy swoop.

You’re not a classic Welshman. Welsh folk are good people, and tend to do significantly less mewling and be rather cleverer than whatever you are.
