Instead of invoking Article50 why don't England and Wales just declare independence from the UK?
By default (as we know from the Scottish indyref) they will then no longer be part of the EU and can only get back in if they reapply.
The English and Welsh are happy
Scotland NI (and Gibraltar?) become the UK.
The UK parliament votes to ignore the referendum.
The UK remains in the EU.
The Irish and Scots are happy.
The banks move their brass plaques from London up to Edinburgh.
We all keep the pound.
What's not to like?

Sounds good to me, and I'd say we let them take the Monarchy with them too!

Alternatively:
We could just send everyone who actually wants to be out of the EU to the Isle of Mann which has never been in.

Only if London and its immediate, remain voting, environs can opt to opt out of leaving the UK ;)

You might have something there.

Move London to Scotland?

Move London to Scotland?
No need to move it - it would just be part of the remaining UK ;D
That would ensure that the powerhouses of the UK economy, London and the Scottish oil remained together - the rest of England and Wales would be economically foooked as they say :D

Dear Rose,
Move London to Scotland?
Merge London with Edinburgh, hell! I might just want to visit Edinburgh if that happened. :P
Gonnagle.
-
Or move Edinburgh to London, not so far to go the fringe then.
I would keep the queen, reassess the monarchy some years after she has gone. All the male royals wear kilts anyway so no change there for the present. I do not care about the £ one way or the other.

Dear Brownie,
Move Edinburgh to London, now yer talking, will there be a vote :P
Gonnagle.
