And now they are kicking out the Gurkhas

[sasguru]

The Gurkha ex servicemen and their immediate families have more right to become resident citizens of Britain than any of the scrounging self serving immigrants that this country grants right of citizenship to every day.

The immigrants I work with every day are very far from being scrounging. And although these are the pick of the crop, I still think that most immigrants come to work hard and better themselves.
Of course the government also allows in assorted drug-dealers, Somalian warlords and African genocidal leaders.

I did say self serving scrounging immigrants didn't I ?

I should have said self serving or scrounging immigrants. sorry

I think this is really penny pinching at its worst. These blokes served this country and in the whole scheme of things allowing this wouldn't cost anything really.

The thing that really annoys me is that they were there when this country needed them, even down to the conflict in Iraq etc but now they are no longer required they are just pushed to one side, like a piece of useless / discarded equipment. Where is this countries respect for them, they deserve to have British Citizenship.

There's a lot more to it than just a bunch of people who chose to fight for our country.

That aside, the sentiment of this thread is correct. These guys deserve our respect and financial support and Gordon Brown and his bunch of spineless wet liberal fops we call a government should slope off and leave this country well alone.

All iMHO of course

What is this about these men (mostly) served Britain in Hong Kong, and now it doesn't suit the Brownsmen to have them here anymore, what madness and ingratitude.

It's all in the grand Labour design - they cannot get rid of the illegal’s so the plan is to generate headlines & elicit sympathy for deserving cases i.e. the Gurkhas and Link warm people up to the idea of 'exceptional circumstances' and then announce an amnesty for the rest of the immigrants

All news management & people are too blind to see what is really going on
