Go the Mighty Gurkhas !!!

Finally a group of retired Gurkhas who have served their adopted country have won the right to stay and overturn the unfair UK immigration rules that stated that any Gurkha who retired from the British Army before 1997 did not have the automatic right to stay in the country.

The judge, Mr Justice Blake, said the Gurkhas' long service, conspicuous acts of bravery and loyalty to the Crown all pointed to a "moral debt of honour" and gratitude felt by British people.

Joanna Lumley said it was a "chance to right a great wrong"

This ruling may affect some 2,000 Gurkha soldiers who retired before 1997

"This is a victory that restores honour and dignity to deserving soldiers who faithfully served in Her Majesty's armed forces.

"It is a victory for common sense; a victory for fairness; and a victory for the British sense of what is right."
