Agreed! And not before time too.

But they haven’t actually won anything except the right to seek a judicial review.

Now watch Labour try and wriggle out of it.

Agreed. This was only a test case for half a dozen Gurkhas.

Don't forget, this contemptible government had to be dragged to court to even get this far. In the weasel words of Jacqui Smith - the latest in a long line of incompetents to hold the Home Secretary's post - the Home Office will now review the other 2,000 cases. Obviously, if they had the slightest sense of decency, they would admit defeat gracefully and grant an automatic right to stay for these brave men. But they don't, so they'll look for other ways to slide out of it. Just watch. :(

I'ts ironic that these fine people have been denied access to a life in the UK when our sworn enemies in two world wars (Now Europeans) are allowed in to work, live and do as they please.
I know who I would give my vote to.
I spent six years serving with these lads and never met one who I wouln't trust.....not only with my property......but with my life. :)
 
My dad, god rest his soul, thought the gurkas were ultimate warriors from his time in WW2. he would be jumping on gordon brown's head if he was still alive.

stop chuffing around GB, sort it out!!!!!!
 
It’s a well deserved victory for the Gurkhas. Unfortunately I can’t see Jacqui Smith being too pleased, you can imagine how long the Home Office will take to review the remaining 2,000 cases. They will get stuck on the backburner first thing in the morning. :(

I hate to say I told you so...but I told you so.

BBC NEWS | UK | More Gurkhas can settle in the UK
 
I understand that only 100 of these lads will qualify under the new criteria.
45000 of these lads lost for their lives in the service of this country.
Disgusting and typical of this awful bunch of incompetants.
