Why you will want to vote Brexit

EU Convention on Human Rights: Great if you're a terrorist, but of sod all use to the rest of us.

Side note: The European Convention on Human Rights was drafted by the UK.

Tax: Basically buggered. Nominally the corp tax rate in Luxembourg is 29%, but the key is what can be written off. Almost no company pays more than about 12%,

That makes Luxembourg about as good as Ireland and Cyprus, then, but not as good as Malta. They have a headline rate of 35% but that shrinks to 5% for profits paid out as dividends. Correctly structured it can be brought down to 0% (and it usually involves the use of either an English or a Jersey limited company).

nope it will make them the EU's problem, we can just pull up the drawbridge.

We can't. We have outsourced all of them to India.

If I was Germany I would be running the passport printing press 24/7.

Once EU citizens they can all come to the UK!

It won't happen. What they will receive in Germany is asylum and perhaps permanent residency, but not citizenship in many, many years. Obtaining German citizenship is much, much harder than naturalising as British.

They may even add swearing allegiance to pork sausage and beer to the requirements.

People just can't get it into their heads the difference between the European Court of Human Rights and European Court of Justice.

It's easy to remember Ukraine* is a signatory of the European Convention on Human Rights which is ruled on by the European Court of Human Rights.

However Ukraine isn't a member of the EU, which has the European Court of Justice to deal with EU law.

*There are other countries but Ukraine is the easiest to remember as it's been in the news a lot recently and not likely to join the EU.

I'm happy to have a points based migration system, as per the US, Australia, etc.

We have already tried that, and it didn't work. Then Australia inherited it from us and it is not quite working out for them either (although they arguably do a bit better).

I am a genuine contractor unlike you, however.

You work in construction?

Two wrongs don't make a right.

We are talking about Brexit, once that is sorted we can sort out ICTs.

ICTs is a British thing that has nothing to do with the EU whatsoever. We can sort out ICTs without even mentioning the EU.

It takes 8 years to be eligible for a German passport and they need to speak fluent German, so they won't exactly be piling in in June.

They also need to embrace German values, which I believe includes sauerkraut, pork, alcohol and Lutheran Christianity.
