At the end of WWII, most people would have been happy to go back to their homeland. Mr Pun VC may have made that decision for all the right reasons.

The problem is not that he wants to change his mind, or that his circumstances have changed, but the disgraceful way in which his access to the country that he almost gave his life for, has been blocked for a stupid pathetic reason.

Yet the government allow many illegal imigrants to stay, they even allow terrorists to stay, yet the government will not look after someone who has made a very valuable contribution to this country, many years ago.

It is simple, He gave for this country, now this country should give for him.

Having looked at the pictures of a frail old man lying on his bed, and then the comparison with the ones that show him holding the poster of support from the boys on ARRSE, just imagine how much of a boost a YES will give him. I hope he survives long enough to get here, and long enough to get the benefit of being here.
