Howes and Co the solicitors dealing with this, got these photos yesterday.

Mr Pun is very unwell, but wanted to say thank you for all the support that he has recieved from everyone. A fit young man with a digital camera was duly dispatched to run up to 4000m. Mr Pun is holding a copy of a poster that one of the lads on ARRSE designed three days ago.

Rod Liddle

Firstly thanks for your support. There are sixty pages of very interesting info on the site frequented by our pals in Green. For latest developments i guess pages 40 onwards will do you. Thanks again.:ok::ok:

Rod Liddle's welcome interest in Gurkha Pun VC reminded me that Rod is a former Editor of the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.

Please email the Today programme here:

The more times the better.

That first picture of Mr. Pun reminds me of my mother in her last days.

The ministers and MPs need to have that picture shoved in their faces.

I pray that he holds on long enough to make it to the Chelsea Hospital to get proper medical care -- even though it is obvious that the locals are doing their best with what little they have in one of the poorest countries on Earth.

Petition signed.
Notice spread to Gurkha contacts in HK. Those here in 97 will remember how our Govt left them high and dry.

I Emailed my MP David Cameron and recieved a very prompt reply from his office.He has already contacted the Home Secretary about this matter and has promised to keep in touch.
I hope he takes this opportunity to question this pathetic excuse for a government in depth, about it's commitment and obligations to those who serve in it's Armed Services.

Perhaps `Danny..and the Moderators`, that well-known `Old` rock -group could publicise the Petition on a few of the other well-travelled Forums...as a sort of `VC Aid`.... might be worth a Knighthood,..! Syc..:ok:

Add another MP to the list
 
Have recieved a letter back from Keith Simpson MP (Con) Mid Norfolk to my email 48 hrs ago. He is a avid military historian and agreed that Gurkhas are the finest soldiers about. He has forwarded my email to the Home secretary and will reply again as soon as he hears back from the skiving low life :mad: scum of that department (my words not his!!!).

As I cannot find any reference to this story on the BBC News web site (Big Brother is there, of course), I have tried to bring it to notice via the "Have Your Say" page. I don't know if more people doing this will help but the page is:

Can we not get someone with a pair of brass balls over in AT to arrange a slight detour on the way back on the afghan express??

It wouldn't take much and if the crew sold their story to the tabloids it would cover the fuel and some medical care .......

Doesn't come as a big surprise I'm afraid, as the "British Military" are themselves seen as an Alien Force by the Beeb Agenda Scribblers. Foreign troops that constitute a part of the British Military are therefore doubly alien. Until the British Broadcasting Corporation is itself universally seen as now alien to traditional British values, I suggest you look for such reports in other sections of the News Media. Parts that the Beeb despises would be a good place to start, you know the sort: Channel Four News, Sky News, the Daily Mail, etc.
Let him in!
