Seems like it was a useful threat started by MrsBlackthorn and it hit the big 1000 so I took the liberty to restart it!

Original post:
My work has started quietly drawing up contingency plans for if Brexit happens. Same at DH's work. Could mean lots of jobs moving to Germany and Ireland at both our firms. We're already seeing far fewer people investing or spending money.

I'm bloody terrified. Could lose my job. House could end up in negative equity. And for what?

I don't even think it's "project fear" from the government anymore... News today showed investors are taking money out of the UK faster than anytime since the crash. People with "skin in the game" voting with their money.

I understand that for lots of people the EU referendum isn't about money. however, because of a lot of it leaving, stopping coming in, or just simply being worth less... Well that leaves us screwed for a very long time. Fewer jobs. Less tax money coming in - so less money for the NHS and so on. So even if we 'take back control', of what exactly. what will we be 'in control' of?

I'm really worried about "Leave" happening and me and my family being utterly f*ed in a few months time as a result. Has the country lost its mind?

Anyone else worried about where this leaves us?

' a Sunday times rich list guy'

One of the people who made it rich through hard graft. Not a Bullingdonian from Eton with a silver spoon.

And apparently quite some selling of fishing licences. And oops can't fish anymore. Funny that.

MrsBlackthorn, Gove said that a Guardian journalist had put words in his 79 year old father's mouth after ringing him up.

Knowing the Guardian and their Establishment credentials, I can well imagine that that was the case.

MrsBlackthorn · 16/06/2016 14:42

The account was corroborated by the dates his dad confirmed - Gove said he was at school when the sale happened, so given his age it had to be before CFP. Gove made the sob story up.

Right claig ... and all those whiter than white non establishment papers like the sun, the mail and the express backing brexit

Tbh I read that article and seems more like the old man said what happened then the spin doctors panicked and fixed his statement.

Wales have just scored. Shares in the Footsie are taking a massive hit. There is a crisis cabinet meeting for what this could mean for the referendum result. If England go out, the returning fans are going to be pissed and they may blame Europe, Cameron and Juncker.

There is complete and utter panic in Westminster. Events are slipping out of their control. Their last remaining hope is the performance of Sir Bogoff on tonight's Question Time. If he blows it, as I fully expect he will, then Remain might as well pack up, shut up and ship off.

England have equalized. The Footsie is recovering and Cameron has re-emerged from the darkened room to which he had retired to have a lie down after Wales scored. Panic over. Game on.

The leave campaign has been suspended for the rest off the day because of the awful event in Leeds claig.

It's sickening. I'm dreading any sicko trying to use this to gain votes Sad
