They are one tough breed of cat. I would hate to go up against them. They like the long knives...

It is still much to the shame of the UK that these loyal servants of the British Crown were forced to fight for their rights through the judicial system. :nope:

Good for the Ghurkas!:up:
Everyone of these brave chaps deserves the right to British citizenship and to settle in this country with their family.
Its shameful that this was not done sooner. :nope:
Quite agree, the Gurkhas are some of the cream of the crop of the UK armed forces and I feel quite honoured and secure that they're fighting with us, there should never have been a question of their right to settle in the UK, they've got just as much right to live here as I have, moreso even. :up:
Agreed, great news :up: Here's hoping the government just accepts this with good grace and allows all the others to live here too.
:up:
Here is an example of people who've truly earned their citizenship and honours as members of a nation. It would've been a disgrace if they hadn't been recognized.
