I'm hoping the Goverment will see sense and reward these brave men.
Anyone who fights along side Britains deserve a future in Britain!! :y
:-* :-*

signed up . :y Of all the foriegn nationals who can and do live in this country and enjoy the benifits of doing so, there cannot be many (if any)who deserve it as much as the gurkhas. they have volunteered to fight for this country for a very long time and by all accounts are brave beyond belief when in action.

Singned up some time ago. I get regular emails from Joanna
Lovely Lumley. Bonus!
I have the utmost respect for the Gurkhas who have served this country and many paid the ultimate price. We treat them very poorly in return.
They are also a well cultured and freindly people.
So - please sign up :y
-
it was said this morning on the remeberance parade that these brave men have won the legal battle and are know allowed to remian in this country. but for some reason it's only for those who left the service before 1977. cant see the logic behind that. theese brave men deserve to remain here more than most of the other people who get to remain here. :-X :-X :-X

Thanks greatly Tony for bringing that to our attention and I have completed without reservation! :y :y
The Gurkhas have served our nation beyond all measure and deserve to reside in Great Britain if they so wish more than any other race or culture outside of our shores! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) ;)

They deserve the right to live much more than some of the buggers we have here already. The Gurkha's have my upmost respect & the ones that shouldn't be here don't get any >:(

Sorry, but they don't .. yet .. the Court case delayed the "removal" of some but it is not yet a "right"
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said in a statement that the Home Office would revise its guidance surrounding the 1997 cut-off date.
"I have always been clear that where there is a compelling case, soldiers and their families should be considered for settlement," she said.
"We will honour our commitment to the Gurkhas by reviewing all cases by the end of the year."
The result of the Judicial Review was this ... (My Highlight)
This September a test case taken by a group of retired Gurkhas to the High Court for judicial review resulted in a ruling by a judge, Mr Justice Blake, that instructions given by the Home Office to immigration officials were unlawful and needed urgent revision and that the Gurkhas' long service and loyalty to the Crown all pointed to an "unquestionable moral debt of honour."
So the fight continues .....

yet again the (shameless)government are muddying the waters and hoping the issue will go away. >:( >:(
