Excellent news

The Gurkha's have won their test case. More to follow on the BBC news website and on sky news website.

If they win, they and many of their comrades will be allowed to take up residency in the country they adopted and fought for over so many years.

"Better to die than be a coward". It's with that motto that more than 200,000 men from Nepal have fought alongside and as part of the British Army for almost 200 years.

And it is with the same determined nature that they have fought in the courts to win the right to remain in the UK after they retire.

At last we are to allow the Gurkha's to live in the country they have defended sometimes with there very lives. This is just one of the many Gurkha's who have put there lives on the line for this country

In the past they have had to beg to stay in this country

That meant those who wanted to settle here had to apply for British residence and could be refused and deported.
