Thanks for the above info Maple. What a fine thank-you to this loyal and brave ex soldier on the 25th anniversary of the conflict in which he fought. The idiots that inhabit the corridors of power seem to have an unhappy knack of doing the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time, awesome! Once again the spineless wonders whose links with this country amounts to our bad luck that they live here insult a man whose links with this country were that he served it faithfully for 14 years, fought and nearly died for it, and asks that he may come here to receive treatment for the wounds and their effects that nearly killed him on our behalf. Needless to say he has been denied that. Well Gordo it's on your plate now chum, so a word to the wise, ring up the wretched Byrne and tell him that he'd better cobble up another statement as he did for WO Pun, but omitting the VC bit. If he demurs to the effect that we'll then have to admit any Gurkhas who may wish to come here, let him know that after careful consideration of all the.... (well you know the rest), that is precisely what Government policy will now be.
OK folks let us put them right one more time, ie MPs, HO(ID), and a concerned email to Buck House drawing HMs attention to yet another blunder aimed at her creme de la creme infantry. If you haven't signed up to the petition for the Gurkhas to be allowed to come to the UK to live amongst us, should they so wish to honour us, do so via
