Lol

Think this is old news as they all now have the right to citizenship

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.

Nope only Gurkhas retiring after 1997 have the right to reside in this country

I thought this was fixed as that was why I was surprised this was posted
