Brits finally deem Gurkhas worthy of residency.

[Gruffalo]

No it didn't you f*cking dick, the armed forces have no say in who is admitted to the UK, the Government of the day decide that, half-wit!



It's GURKHA, you tit, if you can't even spell the word why should we bother with your daft opinoins on the subject?

Please do not drag the thread off topic by being a spelling Nazi. I am sure Paul will agree with me that it was absolutely disgraceful the way the Brits treated the Gurkha people.

Only a nation of scum would allow people to die for them without giving them the right to reside in their country.

Wouldn't you agree Paul?

[Mr Crowley]

Well done to all, about time. The Gurkahs are excellent soldiers and the way they were treated was an absolute disgrace and highlighted the inherent institutional racism within the British armed forces.

For many of the surviving WW2 Gurkah vets, it will be justice at last who suffered and fought in Burma and North Africa. Well done lads.

Let's not lose sight of the fact the Gurkhas are being rewarded for their 'services' to British imperialism. The point of the thread was to highlight the traditional disdain that the British establishment has had for its foreign lackies.

[PaulMeyer]

fvck off you Brit imperialist apologist. It is well known that the British armed forces is rife with racism.

Yes indeed, thats why it's full of West Indians, Nigerians, Zimbabweans and Fijians, not to mention UK born Asians and Afro-Caribbeans. Dimwit.

As Paul has already stated, the residence status of retired Gurkha soldiers was nothing to do with the people of Britain or the MoD. It was all to do with politicians. The vast majority of British people would be only too glad to see them given full residential status on retirement.

[ActuallyYourWrong]

Anyone think its coincidental that all the senior ranking officers in the British Army all have posh accents?

They have issues if you ask me. It seem you have to be an upper class posh twat to get promoted in that outfit.

There are a few 'tokens' knocking round but thats just, well tokenism.

Well done the Gurks though...

Public Opinion was behind this move, senior military figures ewanted it amjority of parliamentarians wanted it, and both the conservatives and lib dems wanted it, the militray havent decided the policy, parlaiment has. thats democarcy.
And fair play to the Lib Dems on this, a third party punching above thwir wirght and actually driving legislative change, rather than merely speaking for a set interest group which is what happens in ireland.

[Mr Crowley]

They can't recruit enough of their own people so they use the poor of other nations as cannon fodder and discard them when they are no longer useful.

[an asal]

When will fianna fail do the same for the irish people?

And who elects the MP's? A bunch of magic fairys who live at the bottom of the Garden?

Politicians represent the people. I have not heard too many British people fighting for the rights of the Gurkha.
