THE GURKHAS

Post by DuncaninFrance » Sat Mar 22, 2008 2:48 pm

There is now a Downing Street website to sign a

petition in support of the

Gurkha's being allowed to stay in this country

when they have completed their service.

I think all Brits & ExPats should sign this one.

If they're willing enough to fight for the country, I say they're welcome to live here (it's a lot more than most of the ba*ds who come here are willing to do).

Petition signed.

If you want an honest answer Dullahan I suspect the answer will be no but at least the bastards KNOW that we care, even if they don't

Do you think the political vermin will ever understand that loyalty is a two way street?

WELL THE BASTARDS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!

Look at this http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090424/tuk ... a1618.html

I found the e.mail address for that fatherless PM Brown and sent this.


I am ashamed to be English, more so the day after St.Georges Day. How dare you and your government put such obstacles in the way of the Gurkhas who, having served this country with honour would wish to live in the UK.
It is testimony to the crass, spiteful, selfish, penny pinching and totally dishonorable way in which you treat all Her Majesties Armed Forces.
For once in your life, do something honorable and stop this disgraceful wrong that you do the Gurkha soldier. Admit you are WRONG. The whole country disagrees with you........put this right NOW!


I sent it to this address:- https://email.number10.gov.uk/Contact.aspx

These people make me sick!
