Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

We the people in this country do deserve the ghurkas and welcome them with open arms our government on the other hand right now doesn't deserve the loyalty of people in the Uk much less the ghurkas. Just yet another shambolic episode in a long list of this government and not only should they now get as many in as want to come but apologise for their treatment of these fine people in the first place.

Congratulations to Joanna Lumley and her fellow campaigners :clap:They can feel very proud of themselves today.

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

Shame no one has put as much effort in on behalf of our own ex service men, after all the majority of these men never expected to settle here after finishing their service, where as we have over 5000 mainly ex army sleeping rough every night, most with psychological problems brought on as a direct result of their service.

Hopefully TheDaddy she will turn her attention to that, one thing is for sure though she has become a formidable force in terms of campaigning and won't be taken as lightly in the future as this government took her this time.

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

This does not go far enough, IF you are a Gurkha, then the citizenship is there automatically, You fight and die for this country, then you have FULL rights to stay.

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

Yep hear hear, you die for this country, you can stay as long as you like...

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

So this treacherous Government and Gordan Brown are now backtracking on this.

Then you wonder why i have such a disgust of this Goverment and its leader.

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

Actually my disgust is for Whitehall and the MOD who are the real back stabbers..They always renege on decisions like this agreed to by all parties.

Sir Humphreys the lot of them.

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

The sooner this collection of pedantic individuals with seemingly personal agendas called nulabour is kicked into political oblivion the better.

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

Agreed

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

I like Sir Humphrey though :D

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

How unlike New Labour to try to mislead us, smear opponents and backtrack on promises... :rolleyes:

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

God help the local mp from Labour who calls at my house asking for my vote at election time. He or She will be told to leave my premises in short jerky movements. ;)

If this is how they threat the Gurkha's how can we trust them to treat anyone else in the armed forces with the respect they deserve.

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

I was only thinking the very same thing about New Labour candidate this morning. Last time around one of them turned up on our doorstep expecting a pat on the back he got a very terse lecture on some of his party's more notable failures. Oddly enough he didn't seem to have any answers...... :rolleyes:

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

I have just sent a formal complaint to the Labour party about the way they have treated the Gurkhas and Joanna Lumley and the team that has supported them. I said in the mail that i feel what they have done today shows that they cannot be trusted to support our armed forces in the past, present or future.

how i wish i could speak face to face with Brown, He would be certain of how i felt after i had finished with the idiot
