It is a stain on this nations character that these brave men have never had the right before.
The Gurkhas have been fighting for this country for over a century - why castigate this government when NO Gurkhas had any rights of residence whatsoever before 1997.
True!
However, the point i was trying to make is, why has this just come about now with all the expenses stuff going on? The fight to let Gurkhas stay was going on before the fiddled expenses claims came out and Brown was against it...why the u-turn now.....to appease us....!!!
