Not that I've heard of but then such threats/promises are little more than faux outrage.

Leaving your country is a big step and will depend a lot on personal circumstances.

As long as people could still have a decent job/career in the UK they would probably stay if they were otherwise happy here.

My fear is though that leaving the EU will have an adverse affect on many people's careers and they may feel forced to move elsewhere, particularly if they are young and/or working in scientific research or finance.

There was a story on the BBC today about some of the major banks relocating from London to Paris.

Trevgo and Aurichie appear to have decided that Brexit won't be too bad for them and their businesses after all

Only if you promise never to come back.
Back right now for a funeral, but straight back away after.

Nobody is going to move to the EU, it was all smoke and mirrors.

Only the rich and wealthy can afford it.

No not in Ireland, in EU countries for the new EU army

Oh yes forgot Ireland is in the EU.

What they want to do is become a second NATO or even a UN force.

Farcical to be honest and totally unnecessary.
If you bother to read up on it, rather than Farage's lies, then you will see it is about being more effective, by saving costs and allowing some specialisation. Easy to carp when Russia isn't next door.

I remember seeing a few posters who said they'll definitely be leaving the UK if we voted leave.

So has anyone here actually left yet? Or even made plans to move abroad?
Unfortunately not, the biggest moaners are sill camped out on here.

You don't need to be rich and wealthy (what's the difference anyway - can you be rich but not wealthy?) to get a job in a bar in Benidorm or Magaluf.

I have read up on it and any type of defence force created by the EU is ridiculous.

Nothing the EU does saves money and quite frankly all they like doing is spending it.

Really worthwhile if you like voting again and again until your EU masters are happy, whining remainers should love it!
Technically you have to be an Irish citizen to vote in referendums that change the Constitution of Ireland - such as the Lisbon Treaty. So those whining remainers would have to get citizenship first...
