$90k a year for a nurse who earned £700 a month in the UK - I think that she must have started working in a "gentleman's club" after hours to make up the difference as well.
Also, if everyone in the UK had to pay £150 a month for healthcare the NHS might be able to bring itself up off its knees, and as for the no VAT unless the daft cow lives in Delaware doesn't she pay Sales Tax.
To be honest I'm sure surrey if glad to see the back of her.

The Daily Mail seems to have a strange grip on people's minds in Britain and it's amazing their constant misrepresentation of facts goes unpunished.
they always have someone talking about "poll tax" don't they?
