How low can they get?

[Bootneck]

Just been doing some reading on this and here are the facts about the Gurkha soldiers of the British Army:

- Gurkha soldiers have have been part of the British Army for almost 200 years.
More than 200,000 fought with us during the First and Second World Wars.

- They have taken part in every significant conflict since 1947 including the Falklands, Afghanistan and Iraq.

- Almost 50,000 have died fighting for Britain and a further 160,000 have suffered serious injuries.

- They do not even enjoy the same pension rights as their British counterparts.

- The fifteen year limit on service is true. The rank and file Gurkhas are only allowed to serve 15 years. Only officers are allowed to serve longer.

So, our government bars these loyal veterans from settlement in Britain, yet they are only too prepared to give settlement to those who have no love or respect for Britain!!!

30,000 asylum seekers a year welcomed with open arms, most of whom are no more than economic migrants. Scum like hate preachers Abu Qatada and Abu Hamza (and many others) who've never done a days work in their life and live on benefits. Foreign criminals who are allowed to stay, because barring them would breach their fucking human rights. And let's not forget the constant flow of illegal immigrants, most of whom are allowed to stay as a result of government amnesties.

Our government welcomes the scum of the world, but not the Gurkha veterans who retired before 1997.

Last year, Gurkha hero Gyanendra Rai, who is partly paralyzed as a result of having his back torn open by an Argentinian shell in the Falklands War, was refused NHS treatment. How disgusting is that!

These men are not bound to Britain, except by tradition, yet they are prepared to lay down their lives for us. I think that makes the debt we owe to them even greater than the debt the nation owes to its own fighting men.

When Gordon Brown became Prime Minister he said he would be guided by his moral compass. So, what happened? Does his compass not work or does he just lack any morals? Snake comes to mind!

Compass works, he has just chosen the economically expedient compass over the moral one.

Amazing how someone can be such a slave to what is politically correct yet still ignore what is morally correct for political reasons.

No. It's not racism. It's blind stupidity mixed with, as Tigerbob astutely notes, mistaken ideals of political correctness sprinkled with a healthy dose of arrogance and topped off with the Labour party philosphy of 'I'm alright Jack'.

The sooner we get rid of the one eyed buffoon and the last tattered remains of his morally bankrupt and incompetent administration, the better off we'll be.

Common decency and honour wins the day! In a vote in the House of Commons today, Gordon Brown and his pack of ingrates were roundly defeated on their refusal to offer settlement rights to all Gurkhas who have served Britain. Another nail in the coffin of this morally bankrupt administration.

Shock defeat for Government in Commons over Gurkhas

The Government suffered a shock defeat today over the right of the Gurkhas to settle in the UK.

Despite last-minute concessions that bought off some Labour MPs, a Liberal Democrat move to scrap new settlement criteria for Gurkha veterans was backed in the Commons today by 267 votes to 246, a majority of 21.

The decision is a massive embarrassment for Gordon Brown and the first defeat of his premiership. MPs gasped when it was announced, believing that the concessions by the Home Secretary would be enough.

Jacqui Smith promised to start a review of criteria by the summer, and said it was highly unlikely that any veterans whose cases were under review would be deported.

But the moves were not enough and, amid delighted cheers from Liberal Democrat and Conservative MPs, the Government went down to defeat.

Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, said outside the House of Commons. "It's victory for decency, it's the kind of thing I think people want this country to do, that we pay back our obligation our debt of gratitude," he said. "It was great, great day for everyone who believes in fairness and decency in this country".

Pretty low. Especially when considering how the douchebag Brit government forces Gurkhas to all practice Hinduism (most/predominantly Hindu, some are Buddhist/Kirati).......faggot Hindus have been shitting on us Buddhists for thousands of years now, even before the dumb Brits intervene and engender it.

Sad. The Gurkhas have been loyal to Britain for almost two hundred years and now get screwed.
Perhaps it's just as well, if they stay in Britain, they will, in time, be living in an Islamic nation, whereas, if they go to India, the Hindus won't allow their nation to denigrate into one.
