Do immigrants to UK get priority for housing?
A look at how the people born here and pay taxes are always at the back of the housing queue, and everyone else seems to jump it. The clip includes a woman from some African country with her children, and she can't find anywhere suitable.... maybe she should not have had so many children and expecting the UK taxpayer to pick up the tab.
No wonder there's a housing shortage if those coming to the UK are jumping the queue because "They are homeless." What about British homeless?

BBC: MoD Files Reveal UFO Sightings
The British MOD UFO Files declasified (18/2/2010)
The MoD department, which has dealt with more than 12,000 reports including 135 last year - was used to assess threats posed by any Unidentified Flying Objects sightings throughout Britain.
Any reports made would now not be investigated or followed up as the hotline had been closed, a spokesman said.
UFO experts expressed anger at the decision.
Nick Pope, former UFO Investigator at the Ministry of Defence and now independent world known UFOlogist discusses the UFO Files Released by UK National Archives. Top scientists and academics attend a conference organised by the Royal Society - the UK's national academy of science.
UFOs on top scientist's agenda

Subject: 5th Release of UK UFO MOD Documents

Flying Toblerones, mysterious illnesses and "silky-white substances" are among hundreds of close encounters described in previously top-secret files released by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
More than 6,000 pages of material spanning from 1994 to 2000 holds hundreds of other-worldly experiences with unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and apparent aliens across Britain.
Aircraft of all shapes and sizes have been witnessed flying over a wide range of locations - including Chelsea Football Club and the former Home Secretary Michael Howard's home in Kent.
One man told police he was physically sick and developed a "skin condition" after an eerie "tube of light" enveloped his car in Ebbw Vale, in Wales, at 10.40pm on January 27 1997.
The file, the fifth released under a three-year project between the MoD and The National Archives, consists of 24 records of sightings, letters and Parliamentary Questions.
Highlights include a man who arrived at his Birmingham home at 4am on March 20, 1997, to discover an illuminated blue triangle hovering over his garden. The craft shot off leaving behind a "silky-white" substance on the tree-tops, which he collected in a jam-jar.
And a West Lothian electrician who spotted a "Toblerone-shaped" UFO hovering over a field. A sketch of the craft is included in the report.
Experts believe the records highlight how shapes of reported UFOs have changed over the last half-century.
Dr David Clarke, author of The UFO Files and senior lecturer in journalism from Sheffield Hallam University said: "In the 1950s the next big leap in technology was thought to be a round craft that took off vertically and it's intriguing to note that this is the same period when people began to report seeing 'flying saucers' in the sky

6 Fundamental Requirements in Opening a Free Merchant Account for a Hassle-free Application
In opening a free merchant account, you have to prepare requirements such as merchant account application and agreement; valid identification documents; financial statements; business documents; Website; and payment gateway.
A free merchant account is the perfect solution for most merchants who like to start accepting credit card payments. Acquiring a free merchant account is very easy as long as you meet all the requirements the bank or merchant account provider wanted.
Merchant account application and agreement
The foremost requirement in opening a free merchant account is to submit an accomplished application form. This paper contains your personal data such as name, place of residence, contact numbers and business data. You also have to attach pictures of yourself. A tax identification number and SSS are also required for proper identification as the business proprietor. Application forms differ on each merchant bank. You have to fill them up according to their satisfaction and the checking of the establishment.
Valid identification documents
Be equipped with any valid identification documents such as passport, driver’s license, voter’s ID and such. This is to ensure that no fraud is taking place.
Financial statements
Just like you are, companies that provide merchant accounts need to ensure the validity of each application. So, they will ask for your business’ financial statements. This will confirm that you are capable of paying the fees on due time and that you are in good terms with your bank or any financial institute. If your business is going on for a few years now, you have to provide the business financial statement after at least two years of service. If not then, your personal financial statement and personal tax will do. Moreover, you have to present the cash flow details, the probable average online transaction rates and the estimated conversion value.
Business documents
Documents such as your business license, seller’s permit, tax seller’s permit, and documents of incorporation are needed to open a merchant account. You must also present a voided copy of a bank account check where your money is set down. This check must have the “Doing Business As” (DBA). You also have to provide the business phone number and registered business address. This mustn’t be a P.O. Box address.
Website
Since a merchant account is applicable for online businesses, you have to give the company a URL of your valid and active website. Make sure that your website is professional-looking and has the vital policies of deliver, and secured checkout system and other fees. Verify if the domain you have is legal and accessible and it must be registered with you as the legal owner.
Payment gateway
Before applying for a merchant account, you must already have a payment gateway for your business. This is the main objective of acquiring a merchant account as it will provide assistance in the transactions done between the customer and you. It will make it easier for you to trace the due payments from your customers and clients.
The most essential qualification for opening a credit card merchant account is to meet the requirements of the bank you are applying to. There are industries called processors that help in this task. You may choose from personally going to the bank or the gate processor.

Bob Chapman returns on the Tungsten Gold plated bars scandal after a German TV have found a Tungsten bar sold as gold and professionally counterfeited , Bob Chapman advises against Gold bars if you are not able to check them out very carefully , he prefers coins to barsGerman ProSieben TV Channel Finds 500 Gram Tungsten Bar At W.C.Heraeus Gold Foundry With Bank Origin
From my estimate, 500 grams (or about 17.63 ounces) of gold at spot should be about $20,000 (US) instead of just over $20 (US) that Tungsten would be worth. That’s quite a rip-off. Via Infowars

March 2, 2010
German TV station ProSieben finds what appears to be some evocative proof of gold counterfeiting, in the form of tungsten gold substitutes coming to the W.C.Heraeus foundry, which is the world’s largest privately-owned precious metals refiner and fabricator, located in Hanau, Germany. The foundry has isolated at least one 500-gram tungsten bar due for melting, originating from a (so far) unnamed bank, which as the head of the foundry stated made the unpleasant discovery that “not all the glitters is gold.”

The Dollar Is Going to Suffer says Axel Merk
"The Greek tragedy is going to continue [and] there will be some ups and some down," says Axel Merk, founder and president of Merk Investments and author of Sustainable Wealth.
