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

Indeed finally some justice and fairness.

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.

Good for the Ghurkas!

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.
