Back to EU

There is a low flat tax rate (30% iirc) for some years (was 5 when I last checked) if you're working in an "in-demand" sector, and tech is one of those sectors.

This is somewhat controversial from what I understand, not all of the Dutch like it, and I understand why: it's not really very fair to give foreigners a tax break and not your own people. But it's interesting nonetheless.

Sometimes I wonder if the GDPR will go down in history like, say, the Magna Carta, a legal construct that changes history.

Maybe with some Amendments ... like the US constitutions. There is stuff missing.

Surely you don't have to degrade your security to a lower UK standard, you can still meet GDPR and make it clear on your website, "Do you conform to GDPR?", "Yes we do. Although the UK have a lower standard of data protection, we still meet the stricter standard"

The UK has ousted its boring technocrats and experts - our politicians and our public have embraced populism. We will ignore energy policy and GDPR because it's boring and spend our time debating culture wars in broadsheets and tabloids instead.

The reasoning is covered in the article.
