As we are all aware, there are 14 year old boys who are quite capable of violence & murder, & quite capable of inciting a fight. When I was a young soldier just out of training, I picked a fight in an Aldershot bar. Thought I was jack the lad. Together with my mates, we succeeded in getting the living **** kicked out of us. We didn't know it was a Paras bar.
Take a walk around Manchester at night, & take a good long look at a few 14 year old "youths", then see how fast you can run before they give you a good beating, just for looking at them.

David Zabaneh was the son of a business man, and friends with the Priminister's son who was also at the bar, who instead of running back to the bar for safety as David did, managed to escape.
When you got a beating from those paras, if one of your mates had been beaten to death, would you have been ok with them doing that?
If there were changes to the treaties which allowed settlement here for Gurkhas, then I'd be all for it, apart from those which have been involved in crimes, especially murder, such as those involved in the death of David.
