Of the towns you list from planet Zog:
Barnsley voted leave
Peterborough voted leave
Sunderland voted leave
Harlepool voted leave
Rotherham voted leave
Wolverhampton voted leave
Bolton voted leave
Leeds a narrow remain vote
Kingston-upon-Hull voted leave
Stoke uon Trent votd leave

Notice a pattern here.
Labour heartlands detest the EU.Perhaps tis you on planet Zog( a place you must be intimately acquainted with)
The message I would take from this is that these areas feel betrayed by the EU and your second link is but merely opinion.
I know you like to bluster through opinion as fact, a miserable trait shared by most on the left, but let us stick to facts.
