I am getting really tired of Scotland, Northern Ireland and London claiming that they voted to remain. The referendum was not a regional one – it was a poll of the whole, combined, electorate of the United Kingdom. Any suggestion to the contrary should have been stated during the campaign and on the ballot paper.

I don’t like the result either, but why should specific regions suddenly claim attention just because the results in their area happened to end up bucking the trend? Hard luck Scotland, Northern Ireland and London (since when was London a separate entity??): the UK as a whole voted to leave. Deal with it!
