You've gotta be joking you can't possibly be serious

I asked a question......does it say on the application form, join the British Army and get free stuff?

I don't know they don't take girlies with blonde moments

That aside I'd rather have them than some others and they have at least contributed something to the Uk so I don't think you could call them spongers really

We paid them didnt we?

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

I can't believe that you agree with this

I don't necessarily do, but you have f*ckwits out there saying foreigners out and it leads to that.

Could you be playing devils advocate

We paid them didnt we?

Now who showing he's is a retard, and a half whit
why am i trying to slag off a brain dead idiot feck it i wont stoop that low

Whilst I think it's in bad taste I do believe he is playing devils advocate. There are those on here who say foreigners out. Do they mean all foreigners or just those that they don't like

For many years, the Brigade of Gurkhas have shown bravery, commitment and dedication in serving this country, and continue to do so on operations today.

This Government has done more for Gurkhas than any other. It was the first Government to grant settlement to Gurkhas and the first to equalise pay and pensions, with over 6,000 former Gurkhas and their families already given the right to live in the UK. In April we took steps to increase the number of Gurkhas eligible to come to this country by 4,000 or, including families, 10,000 people.

The House of Commons has now expressed a clear view that all Gurkhas should be entitled to settle in the United Kingdom if that is what they wish.

This Government respects the will of the House of Commons and recognises the strong feeling and public support for this cause. Consequently, we have announced today that all former Gurkhas who served for longer than four years will be eligible to apply for settlement in the United Kingdom. They will also be entitled to bring their spouses and dependent minor children. There will be no time limit on applications.

This scheme recognises the unique nature of the service given to the UK by the Brigade of Gurkhas and is offered to them on an exceptional basis.

We believe that in announcing the new policy today, we have met their concerns and those of Parliament.

If Joanna Lumley had not been squeezing that minister by the balls... I doubt if the correct results would have happened... their rights should never have been a question.
I think she deserves praise for what she did....... and never made a claim for expenses .
