In that case, shouldn't we increase our "contributions" by a factor of
(at least) ten?

Someone seems to have found the secret of the magic money tree.


I notice he didn't provide any figures showing how we get 10 times more money
back than we put in. No doubt he's probably refering to some nebulous benefit
of immigration here with some pluck-it-out-of-his-backside contribution to
the economy, conveniently forgetting that if we needed immigrants to fill jobs
they'd be let in regardless of EU rules or not.
