If that is below the minimum entry standard I reckon most of us should be deported. Hopefully the Ghurka brass now serving have put their full weight behind this.

It is essential that service of this magnitude is recognised by more than medals. It also makes us look like heartless, penny pinching beurocrats on the world stage.
