I heard that woolyarse had to make a very sheepish public appearance....not quite contrite, but humbled.
Whatever the legal issues,we've abused the loyalty of these people and taken advantage of their impoverished country to exploit them.
Again, playing devil's advocate, paying the same rates as UK domiciled retirees, to Nepal retirees (where ,i think ,the cost of living is about 10% of the UK's) is likely to be divisive and upset the social and economic balance of that country......-for the small cost (in relative terms) those who want to live in this overcrowded, septic isle,should be allowed.......it's already been stated that they have shown true alleigance to the Crown and are not mere Mercenaries.
Their claim is far, far more deserving than the "marriage of convenience" and other entrants with dubious claims.
The rest of the world has always looked up to Great Britain in the past. it will only renew that respect if we are seen to be treating our loyalest allies fairly.
Perish the thought that our government should prejudice that loyalty,or even incur their wrath
OTOH, maybe a "Khukri" lesson in a swarthy gentleman's kitchen might concentrate their minds.
Kudos to the Labour MP's who put morals above politics. They are to be applauded.
