Deplorable action by this Government in the Treatment of GURKHA's

Hang your head in shame

What a disgusting document I am referring to the Ghurkha's right to stay in this country, let us remove all MPs who have not given military service to this country, unlike these brave decorated servicemen, the medals which are worn with pride, not purchased at John Lewis, but under enemy action have valour and bravery like no other

This is my message to all the so called ministers who are weak kneed and totally with out shame.

The men who have served the King and our present Queen, gave their lives long side British troops, they are the Ghurkha's.
I have had the great honour to serve with 22 Ghurkha engineers and the Army Air Corp in Malaysia, whilst working at the BMH.
They did not shirk from any difficult assignments; I for one would have gone on any assignment knowing I had a first class soldier with me.

How many of all these people who are coming in to this country, have they given life and time to serve the British people, I think not, The statement read out by some MP for the MOD made me sick, perhaps we the British people should export all those money grabbing MPs and their spin doctors to Afghanistan with the poor equipment, and bring home all the military units.

To my next one, that is Alice in wonderland, must say I do have to pinch myself and say 'which planet am I on' did not my parents say to me 'be never a lender or borrower' did your parents say that to you, I could not be the only one on this planet that has been told that.
Gosh I do not know what I will do being given and extra £2.50 in my next pension, mind you they may change their minds, the cabinet may need some new clothes, and don't forget the poor souls need all the money they can get, to buy up all those empty homes where the poor souls could not keep up with the Mortgage.

Industry is on it knees, but never mind the Prime Minster is going to get all the young people doing Community work, just what will that do for the economy, what about all those skilled people out of work, to hear that statement, that must be a kick in the guts.
When will somebody please stand up and say enough is enough.
No more gravy trains no fiddling, no jobs for the boy's, and no index linked pensions, in other words Do unto other as you would be done by.
Who do we vote for, and ,please god be soon, on the door step when the whiter then white (I am not referring to the skin colour) comes knocking at your door, what will you ask them, and if it is the one that has been in for the past five years I for one will give them a verbal kick in the backside.
