i am sensitive to the plight of the gurkas -
and think it is henious that they have been treated in this way by the british goverment
but getting in an AD FAB actress to champion their cause is right daft

I think one is planning to get a huge blonde beehive and will be falling out of taxis all over London in tribute Lil

Like you I feel that Amy Winehouse, or a Nolan, would have been more appropriate, but I understand That Ms Lumley is related in some way.

I think you are really misunderstanding the situation Lil.....The gurkhas didn't want her for her Ab Fab credentials...they wanted her to be their Purdy and be an Avenger of their wrongs with a few well aimed ballet kicks....they'd have gone for Gareth Hunt if he hadn't carked it

bloody northern lights then the gurkas!

why not the blackpool illuminations and the darby & joan club

Apparently, Ms Lumley's 'victory' will have a detrimental impact on the Nepalese economy. I heard this through friends of mine that went to Nepal recently, and that appears to be the general consensus over there.

so why just ask this question in relation to Lumley Her Father was a Ghurka, she has probably grown up listening to stories regarding their bravery, so naturally admires them, and obviously felt they were not being dealt a fair hand by our government, I cant see the problem, and I cant see the point of your argument really

then the dalai lama could be on the totally useless ONE SHOW where everyone giggles over bugs and the rain for no bloody reason at all

From what I understand: It appears Nepal has hundred of small villages, many of which the Gurkha's come from and some villages are 90% inhabited by Gurkha families. Now they and their families can come to the UK the individual local industries of each village will collapse bringing down the villages with it.

This is a genuine concern there, and whilst Ms Lumley's heart is in the right place, it's a case of her and other do gooders not thinking the whole thing through properly.

Good day to you dear Lil.

Excuse me for going off topic. I left this for you last night but you missed it.

Joanna's father was indeed in the Gurkha Regiment and my father served alongside the Gurkhas in WW2 and always said they were the finest soldiers in the world so I totally understand why she did what she did for them.

i completely agree with the issue - my grand father / father always said that they were fine soldiers and i think they have been treated shabbily by the british goverment

Why not Joanna Lumley?
I think it is great that someone who could get the cause some publicity, stood up for something she believed in rather than sit back and wait for someone else to do it.

I've wondered if her campaign might actually hasten the end of the Gurkha Regiment. No pension money coming in from the british government means that the Nepalese government has got no reason to allow its citizens to serve in another country's army.
