The Gurkas

[tim]

Point taken. But THEY helped save our Country?

But at long last, someone has come up with the fuller picture - did not know. Thank you. t does tend to knock sentiment on the head?

Must read the small print!

PS Others taking our peoples jobs? This has been happening for decades, by those who are useful NOW but have not contributed before.

Beyond this it gets political & that's not my scene. And all of this is a mere talking point.

[tim]

Seems that we have to/must do it all over again.

B++++++s!!

[saddad]

I agree, what a shameful decision...  >:(

[tonybloke]

 I have very strong views on this, my brother (no Longer with us) was lived when they were refused he had enormous respect for the Gurkas.
How comes this goverment lets in any old riff raff, pays them for doing s*d all & has the gall to refuse the Gurkas.   They should hang there heads in shame.
It`s time we in this country stood up to this bloody goverment. Load of half wits money grabbing,spongers with there shopping lists for 2nd homes Grrrrr!.

[mikey]

Done again .... this morning when I saw the Newspapers

What a treacherous move .......

If we continue to offend our 'old' friends we will rapidly be alone

[SPUDLY]

Just signed up.
It's about time this bloody government got it's priority's right. Welcomes with open arms, useless sponges from europe who contribute nothing to this country, yet deny people who have put their lives on the line.

[SamLouise]

So they happily give benefits to people who want to blow us up and kill us yet they turn away people who have risked their lives, served for us and been loyal?

We let in all kinds of p-takers who'll probably never do anything for society other than cost money and cause grief, but say no to people who loyally fought for our country and put their lives on the line for generations, its b******s.

We should kick some of the non-productive p-takers out to make room for gurkhas instead!

Its just another one of those backwards, unfair, illogical things that's starting to make the UK a joke of a place.

[SPUDLY]

Amen to that SamLouise, well said.

[flowerofshona2007]

Done and posted on another web site to !

[Jeanbean]

Just signed the petition.What is wrong with our Government? As others have said if you are a lazy good for nothing then you can come and live in our country and reap all the benefits. These men deserve the right to stay. They contributed so much to our nation and continue to do so. It is about time Gordon Brown and his merry men saw sense!

[Suzanne]

Signed the petition. Plus happy to support any other protest action. I can't believe we can be so ungrateful as a country.

[cornykev]

I think you just about covered it all Sammy, I'm off to sign up now.  Done.  >:(

Thanks for posting this Tim, as you say this isn't meant to be about politics. I've made my views on war fairly clear on numerous occasions (IN THE APPROPRIATE POSTS), but these guys fought for my freedom whether I like it or not & I owe them for that.

I'm astonished at some of the comments on here. Why can't people sign it & either stay on topic or shut up? Drivel such as the following is completely unsubstantiated right-wing Daily Mail propaganda & the posters should be ashamed of themselves.

Unless the point you're making is that you're normally racist but you're making an exception for these guys?

Having worked alongside Gurkha's in the army I have signed petitions on military web sites over this  resettlement programme in the UK, I doubt if the doubters have ever seen a Gurkha in the flesh,  go down into the centre of Folkestone and more than likely you will see a very smart turned out Gurkha in blazer and slacks wearing his regimental tie going about his business, Cheriton in Folkestone is now regenerated and a safe part of town thanks to the settlement of Gurkha families and businesses in that area :)
