Wow. That's amazing!


As for the Gurkhas, they've been treated appaulingly by successive governments, but then so are most of our service men and women, and this must change.
Apparently there are thousands of Polish immigrants who are desperate to join our army and fight for Britain.
A friend of mine from Hong Kong who'd lived here since '94 was deported as his student visa ran out and he'd not been aware that because he took a year out during his degree his "time in the country" was reset, the previous 11 years no longer counted, so unable to claim ILR and then British Citizenship, he had to leave. His dream was to join the army too.
Should I contact him and let him know he can come back as we allow illegal immigrants to stay now?
To be fair, I don't think Sirius stated that ALL illegal immigrants are allowed to stay. Deportations aside, far too many still are though and the irony is that people, like your friend, who deserve to be treated better aren't.
