If the nation doesn't vote with your choice on Thursday, what will you do on Friday?

[YourPerception]

I will accept it.

*It's almost like they think they are the only possible people who can do that high earning job. Pretty sure there will be plenty of highly educated people who won't flee the country and will be happy to take that job off your hands 

Or let me guess....you're special?*

Fairly special, yes. My sector (not just my company) already finds it hard to recruit really good people, and being part of the EU is a major draw during recruitment.

There are not enough of us in the world with the right qualifications or expertise, which is one of the reasons I'd find it relatively easy to up sticks and get a job in another country.

Some sectors need the UK to be an attractive place for an international employee (plus family etc.) to move to, and if that attractiveness drops relative to other countries, the sector will cease to be viable in the UK.

It's not that I am flouncing out of the U.K. - but I might be forced to. My company, and others in the sector, have all said they will review operations in the UK.

So it's not at all equivalent to leaving a job while saying to yourself "see how they get along without me!". But having my job disappear in the UK at the same time lots of other companies cut their jobs, making it much harder to get another job in the sector - pretty much forcing me and my family to look elsewhere.

If you are a top artist, sportsman, superstar academic academic or entrepreneur then yes, you are irreplaceable.

If you are an accountant, lawyer, or IT manager then your presence is simply keeping labour costs lie for the city.

I think it will be great if all these people who say they are going to go , actually leave the UK

We are bursting at the seams we need people to leave

It will free up jobs, NHS , Schooling etc.

So it's not a bad thing in my eyes.

Margrethe Is that directed at me? You haven't named my sector precisely but I'm of the first category, yes.

Definitely not a sportsperson though

Apply for a French passport :-(

Fair enough then, I won't pry and out you. Britain would never have told Thiery Henri to go or disallowed Beyoncé from giving a concert or told Dan Brown he could do a book signing, so I reckon you'll be okay.

riiiiight Salene -
so lets get rid of lots of high earning individuals and companies who pay lots of tax etc into the system, to fund the very NHS etc. you are so worried about?
Ever heard of the phrase brain drain?

Oh and how about all those people who work FOR the NHS who come from outside UK?

There is plenty of successful people ready to step in their place, are university's are packed with talented ready to embark on good careers.

No one in this world is irreplaceable and we will always have skilled people wanting to emigrate to uk so I'm sure we will cope just fine if a small % of people up sticks and leave.

The UK isn't going to fall to its knees because they leave.

42%'of NHS staff are not from the uk.
There's not the numbers to replace them.

And you think that 42% are just going to pack a suitcase on Friday and leave

What nonsense these people will continue to leave here , work here and make this their homes.

The amount of people who actually leave will be minimal and have no impact on the UK.

Live here not leave

42%'of NHS staff are not from the uk.

You seriously think if they are all from the EU (many won't be) that they are going to just leave the UK?

Sorry but that is a complete over reaction.

I don't see much to celebrate whatever happens. Ask again in five years.

but unless I really haven't been paying attention, the ballot paper will not say 'do you want Boris Johnson to be Prime Minister?'. Despite the hysterical posts on various newsfeeds.

Crying?

So many adults, so many toddler reactions.

You're being given a vote.

Dry your tears and consider the many, many women still waiting for that basic right.

I think they probably want to cry.

Ah mooing, the old 'shut up, you don't know how lucky you are' line. Nice, trying to silence women because other women are silenced.

There is plenty of successful people ready to step in their place, are university's are packed with talented ready to embark on good careers.

And who do you think work in top UK universities, doing world-leading research and training up the next generation of talent?

In my field, it's about 50% international staff from across the EU and to a lesser extent North America and Oz/NZ.

If even a sizeable minority of these folk drift away over the next few years because the UK outside the EU is a less attractive place to live and work, the quality of universities in the UK will really suffer as there simply aren't enough UK academics of comparable standard to fill the gap. (Of course there are great UK academics; just not enough of them to staff the all top universities).

And when the universities in a country start dropping in quality, no longer producing world-leading research in such volume, closing courses because the departments that teach them aren't raking in enough research income any more... then the long-term economic impact on that country is negative and huge.

My university is bricking it in the even of a Leave vote. The vice-chancellors of most of the top universities have collectively called for Remain, for very good reason.

Not silence them, but remotely.

Encourage them to react like the privileged adult women they are, yes.

No one in this world is irreplaceable and we will always have skilled people wanting to emigrate to uk so I'm sure we will cope just fine if a small % of people up sticks and leave

This actually isn't true, as a pp has said, some areas are select and specialised. There are not enough applicants across the EU. By leaving, we become less attractive to those applicants than other countries. So those areas of expertise/industry shut down.

This isn't about individuals, in that sense of course no-one is irreplaceable, but it is about a trend, making those industries less attractive overall.

But I feel as if the whole tone of this campaign swings from scaremongering to doom, with unsupported wild claims in between. That is both sides.
As soon as people actually start to talk through facts, they are shot down.

I don't see the harm in crying, it's not like any posters have decided to take to the streets and bawl their eyes out in protest.

People care about the outcome, given the amount of fear and catastrophic posturing infused in the campaigns, is it any wonder there will be emotion attached to the result?

Save your wasted privilged speech for those who don't care and won't vote.

I cried with joy when Scotland chose to remain in the UK. I was a 'No' voter with a very young baby and we had decide to emigrate to Oz if the vote went the wrong way. We're still on the fence about emigrating but if we vote Leave then that's back on the cards for sure. Quite anxious about the whole thing.

I'll cry.

Why not cry? Should we behave more like men?

I can understand why people will cry.,it's become hugely emotional.

So Mrs Blackthorne do you understand now why other people have been so deeply upset at the way immigration has transpired?

How peoples livelihoods has been ripped away from them by millions of low skilled workers? Do you empathise with them at all? Then called Lazy too boot?
