Gurkhas and citizenhip court case.

Some good news re their fight to stay here in the UK:

Ex-Gurkhas who claim they have been racially discriminated against by the UK government have won the right to stage a High Court challenge.

More than 2,000 Gurkhas who retired before 1 July 1997 have been refused permission to settle in Britain.

The men, who say the policy is unfair, were given permission to apply for judicial review by Mr Justice Sullivan.

Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has written to the prime minister urging him to grant citizenship to the veterans.

The Gurkhas' legal team said that foreign soldiers would normally be eligible to settle in the UK after completing four years' service anywhere in the world.

But Gurkhas who retired before the British Army moved its main base for the regiment from Hong Kong to the UK in July 1997 "continue to be denied the opportunity to obtain settlement on the same basis as foreign soldiers discharged in the same period", their lawyers argued.

This amounted to "unlawful discrimination", they said, adding some veterans have died waiting for immigration appeals while others are seriously ill.

The judge told a courtroom packed with Gurkhas and their families that "an authoritative decision of this court as to whether or not the policy is unlawful" will be made by the end of September 2008.

A hearing will be held over two days from 16 September, with submissions on behalf of the Gurkhas and the Home Department.

Test case appeals over the refusals, which were due to be heard by the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (AIT) on 21 July, will be delayed pending the outcome.

The judge added: "Once it has been decided whether the policy is lawful it will be much easier to decide each individual case."

Meanwhile, Mr Clegg wrote to Prime Minister Gordon Brown demanding he end the government's legal challenges that prevent the release of 50 files relating to its policy on Gurkha soldiers.

"It is yet another gross insult to the Gurkhas that despite their bravery, unstinting service and commitment to the United Kingdom, they have been wilfully frustrated in their attempts to put their case for leave to remain in the United Kingdom," he wrote.

"I urge you to halt this expensive legal charade and do what is right by the Gurkhas, and grant them all, regardless of retirement date, the British citizenship they deserve."

The Brigade of Gurkhas is based at Shorncliffe, near Folkestone, Kent, although one infantry battalion has its barracks in Brunei.

Now I am baffled as to the behaviour of our government with regards to these people, first off and looking at it from a cynical point of view if they let the Gurkhas stay it would be a vote winner and lets face it Mr Brown needs each and every vote he can get.

Consider the countless squillions that we as a nation or rather the elected cunts in Westminster piss up against the wall each and every day: The 2012 Olympics being a case in point where the initial guess was just that a total random guess and the total is rising ever higher.

Also look closer to home or rather 2nd home in the case of MP's, at the average £100,000+ that each and every MP spunks away on expenses, that is on top of their huge wages.

Yet they seem determined to waste yet more of our money on a court action to stop a couple of thousand Gurkhas, chaps who have taken up arms for this nation and who would I am sure make model citizens.

Rather unlike most of the people in The House of Commons, who make use of rent boys(Mark Oaten), fuck their staff(John Prescott with his 2" cock), furnish their homes and second homes at our expense, drink like fish, eat like hogs at our expense(some £400 per month food allowance per MP) and in the main act like total cunts.

Some more waste here, our unelected PM who has poured £800 million of our money into the hands of murdering tyrants so he can have his picture taken with Nelson Mandela, who himself is a former murdering scumbag.

Yet look who the government are quite happy to allow to stay here in the UK: Afghan plane hijackers.Now living at our expense here in the UK.

Fat fuck Omar Bakri who fled from the UK fearing arrest. But it was the UK who let the fat turd into our nation in the first place.

Captain Hook Abu Hamza, soon to be off to the good ol US of A we hope. Not the first time that we have deported religious nutters to the USA either. Oh and his son Mustapha Kamel(love the name) is a thieving little scrote as well who recently done for theft.


Then they waste some £60K a year on this fat cunts pention: "bulemia sufferer" John Prescott

Piss away some £2.7 billion on the Crewe and Nantwich by-election, yet won't allow the Gurkhas in, hell at least they don't hijack planes or call for the extermination of the UK people. Add to that the countless Roma pikey gangsta types coming up from former Soviet nations to start up their native trades of extortion, theft and prostitution, moslem islamics, unwashed savages from darkest France, although originally they came from Africa after hanging on the underside of Eurostar...

Such is life in New Labours "Cool Britannia" a place run by a one eyed Guardianista who nobody wants and who no one voted for.

You don't get it...Ghurkas are likely to be fiercely loyal British citizens, so that wouldn't suit the milti culti cuntys of Labour would it?

Far better to have tb infected Roma pikeys who peddle prostitutes and drugs and who live on benefits than loyal fighting men in New Labour land.

This completely sickened me and continues to cause me great anger ever time I see it being reported. These brave soldiers fought and probably killed in our names, the least we should do is honour their courage and loyality by giving them citizenship and state assistance in their twilight years.

Gordie can't do another U-turn so don't expect him to suddenly do the honourable thing. A case of being damned no matter which way he now goes... but it is his own stupid fault.... stupid cunt!

John I agree it is Gordon and the scum who follow him that I blame.

As for Gordie doing another U turn, well just watch him. He plays the polls like Blair but unlike Blair can not smile shit away.

Sadly his U turns involve him hitting every corner on the way, probably due to lack of depth preception re policies and not his eyesight or lack of!
