I do not think we always have the same political view, but I agree wholeheartedly with your attempts to use the political system to redress injustices.
I totally agree with naomi24, well done.
Many people here and I include myself pontificate on what is right or wrong, but few I suspect actually take action like you. That actually involves some effort that isn't bound in self gratification.
I think we could all take a leaf out of your book, even if that doesnt mean having to have the same political perspective.
Please do update on your action.

The respnse to this has been terrific, I can't thank you all enough.
sp,
I used 'Write to them also'.
here is the link, other papers picked up on the story the next day, but i've not heard anything since, but as has been said, its not really about this one Gurkha, but all of them, past, present and future.
Thanks to all again.

Hello Lonnie and all who have written to their MPs. I received this response, dated 4 July, from mine.
"I appreciate your concerns, and indeed, recently raised with the relevent Minister this government's treatment of past members of the Ghurka Regiment."
Well at least he responded with more than a standard letter!
