We have already had a whole thread on inheritances and gifts so I dont want to run though that again here. Its sufficient to say that inheritances and gifts are about £200 billion annually and hundreds of thousands benefit from inheritances.

I've posted figures don't you like them.

which is why many of the nurses are immigrants. its a low paying job which not many want to do, which is perhaps why they hire immigrants from poorer countries to do the job instead?

Nurses get paid £28,180 outside London which attracts an additional premium. Already well above the national average, then you add on overtime and it's quickly up to £35k-ish, which puts it easily among the top third highest paid professions on the thisismoney annual salary survey. Yet this is a low paying job? Doesn't that just demonstrate how out of touch you are? Or is acting as though you are out of touch with salaries as pitiful as £35k merely you attempting to project an image of some sort?

Got a link for that because that's not the ONS figure. It's about £50k for the city.
