This has long been something that really pisses me off.
In the UK, Immigration is highly active from a variety of countries and I think that is good for the long term, however a very small minority of people have been seeking residency in the UK and have been running into a brick wall every time they try.
Who are these people?
They are the Mighty Nepalese Soldiers of the Gurkha Brigade.
Like so many people in Britain I am ashamed at how successive governments have failed these magnificent and loyal soldiers.
Joanna Lumley, actress.
She Said it.
Almost 50,000 Gurkha's have died and around 150,000 Gurkha's have been seriously injured in conflicts around the world and it should be considered a matter of honour that any retired Gurkha soldier who serve in the British Army should at the very least be allowed to stay in Britain after they leave the forces if they wish.
Hundreds of Nepalese Gurkha soldiers who fought for Britain protested March 19, 2008 outside the Parliament of the United Kingdom in London, demanding higher pensions and the right for Gurkha's to stay and live in the country they have served.
This has sparked a national petition to entitle Gurkha's to British Citizenship when their service ends.
"The Gurkha Soldier
Bravest of the Brave
Most Generous of the Generous
Never Had Country
More Faithful Friends
Than You"
Long live the Mighty Gurkhas !!
