"Up to 1000 jobs" could mean "25 jobs".

"If the UK left the single market" could mean "never" since the UK could negotiate something to remain in the single market while not being part of of the EU.

Basically the whole "omgz the banks are all going to France and the english will starve to death" bullshit was just that... bullshit.
