Your reply implies that my post with "could" may not happen meaning what I am saying is scaremongering. You call it speculation hysteria.
Just like before the vote all the economic expert predict they businesses will leave and the leave camp call it project fear.
Is that too difficult to understand?

Like pawns? What are you smoking?
It is just such a ridiculous point - I'm supposed to not vote leave because some random forum poster might have some uncertainty at work? Forget any of the wider implications it is all about Joe Bloggs and his random job that may or may not be at risk?
Alternatively the same could be asked of you - what about non-EU skilled workers? Are they like pawns to you?
Exactly, but you can't argue with the remain crowd. They are always right.
I think you've said that before but you've not really explained how leave voters are going to be held accountable? Aside from you maybe getting angry with any who have declared their vote publicly perhaps?
Have to agree - some people on here are as bad as the newly emboldened racists in the level of hate they display.
Granted they are only passive agressive keyboard warriors that are scared and take comfort from it but even so.
Agree, it is pretty amusing and alarming at some of their views.

Let's not forget the real victims here, the satirists. As this **** continues to literally write itself, their livelihood has practically dried up overnight.

You don't care people lose jobs because "for the greater good", pawns, as in sacrifice, in a chess match in order to achieve your overall goal. Seriously, how difficult was that metaphor to understand?
Whereas on the other hand I see the bigger picture different to you, the economy is good right now with low unemployment...it's all about to change though.
It will be in the hands of the politicians. It is up to them to make it work.
I wonder if, say 5 years down the line you will have all the remain people saying "Leaving the EU was the best thing we ever did!" lol
If the evidence supports it then I will happily say "I was wrong". TBH, I really hope I am wrong. The alternative I don't want to think about.
But its a boon to Punch/Private Eye illustrators!Let's not forget the real victims here, the satirists. As this **** continues to literally write itself, their livelihood has practically dried up overnight.

Same, I'll happily start a thread about it.
The Police have said there was an increase in the reporting, not that the crimes have actually been committed. The fingers are pointing at Facebook lefties abusing the reporting system for their own agenda. Who'd have thunk it.
Never change
So you don't care about immigrants then, they're just pawns?
Yes I'm well aware of what a pawn is thanks it was your ridiculous point in general I was taking issue with not the choice of metaphor used to convey the utterly irrelevant point you tired to make.
In what way does that make leave voters accountable for their vote or make them any different to remain voters?
there is still a chance for further change if people that voted Leave expressed doubt to their MPs - a swell of doubt could swing things
if this glimpse of reality is what people wish for then fine - but don't expect others to be sympathetic if it goes pear shaped
you've gone up in the plane with a parachute on, on the way up you wonder if you've packed it right - you're now standing on the edge ready to go - do you still go for it ? hope that actually it "might" be ok

You are missing the whole point, they have nothing to lose, do you understand?
If things for a lot of people cannot get any worse and they see that this vote mattered and they could take down Cameron etc and the attitude of let's see what happens next, they are going to take that chance.
Also they will only take so much of this comedy show that is now going on, if what they actually voted for doesn't start to get moving pretty soon there is going to be trouble. Because to them, they are being ignored again.
