Having worked with Gurkhas in the past and also having a grandfather who served alongside them in the Chindits I find this government's continued poor treatment of Gurkhas disgusting. Never have more a more loyal people served under the crown of this country, a country they were not even born in.
The area I live in has a large ex-Gurkha community and I often attend Gurkha charity events, even though the local councils have made it increasingly difficult to hold them.
Quite frankly I find this all very embarrassing. We as a county are happy to put their lives on the line for our foreign policy decisions put hope they go somewhere else to see out their days when no longer required.
