Well I'm all for a campaign to offer UK residence to all ex Gurkhas, which was of course the purpose of the petition to our great leader from the very beginning of the effort to get the refusal to WO Pun VC reversed. But let us be clear that moral rights and wrongs are always one offs, and those who grow weary of appeals to correct such are themselves morally deficient. That is a hard thing to say and to accept, but it is our loss of moral certitude in this brave new world of expediency and prudence that would make us the beneficiaries if those who have displayed the old values of loyalty and service would honour us by wishing to live amongst us.
LET THEM IN!
