BREXIT poses an existential threat to Gibraltar, the Falklands and Crown Territories. Gibraltar, as part of the South West region, voted 96 per cent to remain in the EU.
Scotland, Northern Ireland and London voted to remain.
There are arrangements between the EU and the Kingdom of Denmark which allows Greenland to be outside of the EU, while the rest of Denmark is within the union.
Although the figures for Saxland (South West, South East and East Anglia) have not been published, it is probable that Saxland also voted to remain, despite the vote in much of the rural South West.
What needs to happen is that an exit is negotiated for English England, i.e., north of the Wash, (and Wales) which voted overwhelming for Brexit, leaving the rest of the UK within the EU.
