Bagsy Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Yes - long overdue. I work with a number of ex gurkhas and can't fault 'em Just make sure they speak very slowly over the net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Some 200,000 Gurkhas fought for Britain in World Wars I and II and more than 45,000 died in British uniform. Around 3,500 Gurkhas currently serve in the British army, including in Iraq and Afghanistan. "When these guys joined the Gurkhas, most of them were told they had to serve 15 years, but now the British government are saying they have to serve 20 years. This is total discrimination." Other foreign soldiers in the British army can settle in Britain after four years' service. Immigration Minister Phil Woolas denied campaigners' claims that the British government had betrayed the Gurkhas. "What we've done today is to allow even more people in without setting a precedent that would create a massive pressure in my view on the immigration service, which I don't think the public would want me to grant," he told BBC television. " ALL POLITICIANS SHOULD HANG THERE HEADS IN SHAME" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8landy Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Maybe they should Get Max Clifford on their case? This just sums up Britain today, you fight for your country and get nothing. Yet, wasters can live in costa del sol and still claim their dole and winter fuel payments (obvoulsy not the same people, or can they?)

jojusa Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 This is the inscription on the statue of The Gurkha Soldier in Whitehall. Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had a country more faithful friends than you. Then they are not allowed to stay in the country they put their lives on the line for ............... IT F*#KING STINKS! YES, they should recieve citizenship.

markb Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Morning all, well, what a bloody disgrace, I am nearly lost for words, (but not quite) after abit of thought, it realy doesn't suprise me that our government turns it's back once again on ex-servicemen, with all thats in the news recently, bad housing, loads of stress related problems, poorly equipped troops, soldiers having to buy their own kit, and then when they are home from a tour they feel they cant wear their uniform, because chavs and left wing anti's spit at them for fun or in disgust. It makes you wonder why any body would still want to join up. Didn't some one on here in another post recon the government listen's to it's electorate, well hear this you toxxer's hang your bloody heads in shame, you have embaressed this country, and you have let down one of the bravest and most loyal regiments this country has ever known, I hope you rot in hell you worthless pile of cxxp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXX73 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yes and the fact that they aren't is a disgrace. Politicians yet again completely out of touch with society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nial Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'm not saying no, but there's another side to this..... The deal with Nepal is that Britain takes some of their best young men for a period after which they return as disiplined trained leaders. If Nepal doesn't get their part of the deal back why should they let their best your men go and fight for a foreign country? Perhaps they should be given a _much_ better pension so they can live very comfortably in Nepal and give even more back? Nial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN BOY Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) YES B) they fight for our country they should get british citizenship, heros each and ever one of them Edited April 25, 2009 by JOHN BOY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Its an absolute disgrace, as said in many posts these people have died for this country and this is how our government repay them, what an ungrateful bunch of S****s they really are. Now I don’t want to sound racist but how many Muslim regiments do we have? How many of these immigrants are actually serving this country and would any of our lads want to fight beside them (I very much doubt it). This country is already down the pan as far as I’m concerned we let no good dregs from other countries in here to scrounge, rob, con and murder our own, yet the government still keeps letting them in. Why not let the Ghurkhas have a crack at policing this country for a couple of weeks, there would be a massive improvement me thinks.
