Hi 3T have your woggles binzwanged the ya-ya to die ?
that is the rhyming slang you love for " have you had your cornflakes with honey today ? " - [ note to die is east ender for 'today' me little cockney sparra ]
no but seriously - if the fors not independent and the againsts are not independent then the only people who could speak would be the dont-knows...and I suggest that there is something wrong with that analysis

All arguments along the lines of "in is vital for trade" are tantamount to admission that the EU is a protectionist, non-free-zone.
Meanwhile, issues of "plant yer factory 'ere for a tax break, matey" are being brought to the surface.
Japanese makers are only here because they were *induced* into creating jobs for us by trade barriers. Dagenham workers pushed too hard for wages and the engine plant is moved to Spain.
Business practices are bent into shape by laws but only because corporations don't feel they owe the residents if any particular town or city a living.
No sense of social responsibilty, even if a town has served them faithfully for best part of a century.

Heh heh. Good name for a band.

It's obvious that a vote to leave the EU is a vote to shake things up and create uncertainty in the short-term. On the other side of that period? Who knows?
Businesses, anyway, are understandably wary of uncertainty where possible, and in that sense I don't think it's unreasonable to send an email along the lines of "if the UK votes to leave the EU then we can't predict what will happen, so stay tuned and be aware that this may well affect your jobs somehow."
Anything too strong would risk politicising an internal business email a little too much -- but on the other hand Brexitters really need to stop crying scaremonger any time someone suggests that there may be negative consequences of leaving the EU. Of *course* it's going to be messy; of *course* the outcome depends on how the EU decides to react to a "no" vote; of *course* no-one can say exactly what will happen, which includes all the BS Brexit seems to want to sell about a ticket to paradise.
