Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

Just shows the contempt that Brown has towards the Gurkha's. He has had the chance to step in and make sure that the outcome of this was in there favour but no his true side towards the armed forces is there for all to see. :mad:.

For that one reason alone i would never vote for anyone from his party as long as i have a (Well you know the rest) :).

Brown has no back bone and this shows that all the more. His party if they have any honour should tell him to right this wrong, But alas they are probably more interested in how they can order porn movies without getting court again, or how they are going to fund that second house they own and rent out. :rolleyes:

Labour send our troops into a war by using lies, Then fail to support them after when they need that support the most.

I for one have to agree that the treatment meted out to these gentlemen is shabby and extremely mean spirited.:mad:

First time i have ever said this.

Well done the Lib Dems :clap:. They have more backbone than the Labour party.

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

Good to see them actually do something useful and right.

Our current government is happy to turn a blind eye to thousands who have given nothing to this country and come here illegally and simply for financial gain.

Nick Clegg has it exactly right in my opinion. If you are prepared to put your life on the line for this country there is NO question that you have earned the right to live here and be supported in your old age.

How funny it is that we want the 100.000 Ghurkas and dearly want to get rid of one man in particular and cannot do it. I have and never have had anything but contempt for GB and each and everyday he gives me more reasons to continue with that feeling. These men deserve all that we can give them and certainly more then brown is getting and he can't even be bothered to help them one bit complete moron as far as i am concerned give us the election brown let us all show you how much we regard you.

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

The irony is that the true figure is around 5000 to 6000 according to Joanna Lumley, the number of 100,000 is a red herring.

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

I think the number of 100,000 relates not just to the soldiers themself but their dependents as well Froggie either way whatever the number i have no problem with any number of ghurkas coming here as they are committed hard working people that contribute wherever they go. Apart from anything else they have a fantastic sense of humour that cheers everyone up something we really could do with in this country right now :).

Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
 

Now all we have to hope is that the rest of them will see what the right thing to do is and if GB isn't happy about it he can go back to number 10 and continue having the splinters taken out of his backside. Just vote to let them in and be done with it do at least one good thing before you sod off.
