Gurkha Justice Campain
I get incensed when I see who we let into our country and others who are allowed to stay. I strongly feel that we all should support this cause.
The Gurkha Justice Campaign.
www.gurkhajustice.org.uk
Gurkhas are fighting for Justice. They want the same terms and conditions as their UK and Commonwealth counterparts.
Britain has had no greater friends than the Gurkhas. They have served all across the world in the defence of our Country for nearly 200 years. Over
45,000 died in the two World Wars as part of the British Army. They are still fighting in the British Army today.
You may have seen in the media that the Gurkhas have been fighting in Parliament and the Courts. Step by step, things are getting better - but there
is a long way to go.
On Tuesday 30th September, the High Court ruled their treatment had been unlawful in terms of the right to live in the UK if they retired before
1997.
Following that fantastic High Court decision, the Government has to change the law on how it treats Gurkhas. We demand the full, fundamental change in
law that will allow all retired Gurkhas the right to live here.
By signing up below you will be expressing your support for all Gurkhas. You will be signing our petition, and we will be able to contact you in the
future as we mount the largest ever campaign to get them the Justice that they deserve.
Join me in the campaign: together, we can finally right this wrong.

PS - MikeLR... never knew you were Joanna Lumley in disguise!
Knew you were a petrol-head, but not a locost-builder!

Signed up, really worthwhile campaign. It's a travesty that these guys are treated so badly.
Then again so are our own troops with lack of proper kit, medical facilites and assistance when discharged due to injury.

Done also.
Met some of these fantastic guys back in the day.
I have always been appaled at the pay scales these amazing soldiers get paid.
If they are in our army, then they should get the going rate, not a lousy pittance! 
I would be honoured to have these guys covering my back any time.

Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
