If you can't do that simple don't post but stop trying to antagonise the majority of posters in this thread that support the gurkhas.
Stop trying to make out I don't support the gurkhas.
It's been suggested that all of them should be allowed to settle, I pointed out that there is one group I know of which frankly I don't believe should be welcomed due to their criminal actions, whether they've fought for Britain or not.
Now you may be able to turn a blind eye to their actions, I cannot, a 14 year old boy is dead, his family have lost their son.

Lets also not forget that although most of us hold the belief that if someone is willing to die for out nation and it's values, we owe them, there is a treaty to protect Nepal which prevents the nationalisation of Gurkhas.
Working within that I would like regular assessments of the well being of ex-servicemen in Nepal to ensure that none of them are suffering medically or financially.
