UK nurse newbie!

[Doc Alan]

You will I am sure receive a warm welcome in the UK, for you are well qualified and there is difficulty here retaining the current workforce of nurses. Insensitive comments about our climate and high taxation should be ignored when you have just suffered the worst typhoon in 40 years and the salary for nurses in the Philippines is so low in comparison. Furthermore you have already worked for two years in your own country and you have every reason to look forward to coming here.

Insensitive...???

What is so insensitive, if I may ask....?

Would you rather tell porkies....??
Like saying this is the land of milk and honey, or would you tell it as it really is...???

Yeah we only pay about 70% tax on petrol for starters, 17.5% VAT (I think the world average is 5%)........and the weather.....we have hurricanes in the UK we just don't call them that, the only reason we have less devastation is that we get warnings, have better buildings, and don't suffer large landslides which is the biggest Phil killer.
