Habitual residency test prevents people who live outside of the UK from claiming UK housing benefits. Some UK citizens live outside the country &, as such, the policy applies to them too. British claimants must reside in the UK for at least 3 months & show intention to live here.

Notting Hill Carnival ‘generates nearly a whopping £400 million, giving a huge boost to the economy’ a study has found. But the event has seen calls for it to be moved due to crime, despite it having had almost the same arrest rates as Glastonbury festival https://t.co/oE2ac5sWTF

How it started:

I was forced to leave my family behind in Lebanon when I was 17 years old due to the far reaching effects of war.

I arrive in the UK and my first job is working in a van selling burgers & kebabs for a living. Customers ask me if I can speak English.

The following year I enrol into a sixth form and work full time hours stacking shelves in a food store to survive. The Head of the Sixth Form asks what I want to do with my life. I say it was always my dream to become a doctor. She laughs in my face & says I’ll never get into medical school, it’s too competitive & to choose another course. She made me feel like I was some ‘dirty little immigrant with delusions of grandeur.’

How it’s going:

I am a doctor, consultant psychiatrist, honorary visiting professor & author & I just saw copies of my memoir in my local bookstore.

NEVER stop believing in yourself and NEVER stop dreaming.

It’s ill-advised for Pastor Jeremiah to sue. As Section 419 of the Criminal Code of Conduct in Nigeria might apply here, & to other Pastors, where it can be proven that they’ve used false pretences to obtain money from their congregation in exchange for “miracle” products.
