if not please feel free to remove it.

I got this in my email tonight. Perhaps some of you may want to read it and add your support. If not I hope I caused no offence by posting it.


Quote:
Would you consider signing the petition to help some of the Ghurkha’s stay in the UK. It seems quite petty that the government has difficulty allowing proud Ghurkhas to reside in the UK after they have given so much throughout our military history. Today’s News of the World carried the story of Cpl Kumar who was killed on Thursday fighting for Britain. His widow no doubt devastated at his loss, learned just 24 hours later that she and her family have no right to stay, I am incensed that someone who fought for the UK for 13 years is being let down by the system.

Joanna Lumley has fought for better rights for the Ghurkhas and I thought Gordon Brown would not honour his promise to give greater consideration to the proud regiment. The UK is overburdened with illegal immigrants which in many ways seem to have greater rights even though they contribute little to the UK. Of course these are my personal views and you might feel different, I ask that you consider the merits of this injustice.

If you feel like I do that the Ghurkhas deserve better treatment that perhaps you would consider signing the No. 10, online petition below and forward this e – mail to some of your contacts

At least these guys have given something to this country.
More than can be said for many who do get to stay here.

I have been meaning to sign it. Now I have many thanks for the reminder. I am a great admirer of Joanna Lumley and her hard work. May she be successful.

It should be the same with All that want to come to this country.What are you prepared to do for Great Britain Ltd. Not what should Great Britain Ltd do for you. The Ghurkha’s should be welcomed with open arms.

Oh dear, now I am going to have come out against this. Not that I am against this at all, in fact I 100% support the right of ghurkas to live here. BUT THERE IS NO WAY THAT I AM BEING ON THE SAME SIDE AS NO TIPS! :mrgreen:
