I have no Military connection but I saw red when I read about this shameful treatment.
E-mailed my MP last night who replied today.
Dear Dai Davies,
Today the day of the Falklands Memorial I am disgusted to read about
the shabby treatment of a Falklands veteran Lance Corporal Gyanendra
Rai (Rtd) a former Gurkha who received serious back injuries during the
conflict.
He is unable to afford treatment in Nepal and wanted to come to the UK
to seek medical help, unfortunately the faceless bureaucrats of the
Foreign Office are afraid he may try and stay in the UK if they allow
him to come here for treatment.
We continually read about preachers of hate that we cannot deport for
various reasons and the criminal elements flooding into the country
from former Eastern Block countries but it seems we are unable to
support someone who gave 14 years service to this country and was
injured in the process.
What a sad state this country is coming too, we used to be world
renowned for fair play, I now wish I did not have to admit to being
British.
I would appreciate if you would raise this subject on my behalf.
Yours sincerely,
Stephen Phillips.
Dear Stephen,
I agree fully with the contents of your e-mail and have tabled a Early
Day Motion on this very issue.
Yours sincerely
Dai Davies
Also wrote to HM along the same lines.
I hope it helps.
Sent the story to friends to do the same.
Regards,
Steve.
