Equal Pensions and Citizenship for Ghurkas

bradclark1 · 03-21-08, 02:24 PM

If a foreigner serves in the U.S. military they are fast tracked to citizenship as it should be. The Gurkha's have been an elite unit of the UK since 1817 for the East India Company and the British army since 1857. It's only fair to offer them fast track citizenship.

I'm all for offering them equal pensions and citizenship.

Just remember that means higher taxes.

While I have the greatest respect for, and awe of, the Ghurkas, is the intent not that they return to Nepal after their service is over?

Rubbish.

The answer is simple, we keep them and get rid of the stinking nappy wearing wet PC liberal turd MP's and councilors and dump them on some deserted Island with a box of matches for which the result would be this, plenty of room to take all the Gurkha's in. By getting rid of the waste we save ourselves and pot full of money so the result would be lower taxes. :p

Back in the real world just reduce the number of immigrates that move here which would allow us to take in the Gurkha's.

PS: All our Labour/Conservative governments have treated them like sh*t and that is a fact.

I certainly can't disagree with those last two sentences

The short answer is to show the assylum seekers and illegal immigrants where the door is... then we will have plenty of room, and money for them that deserve help. i.e said Ghurkas.
