I think on this one we have got to put aside the sentiment over this problem.
As Gromit has already said we are already a overcrowded island, with an overstretched NHS.
I have nothing against them receiving the same pensions and health benefits, providing that they have paid into them the same as our own troops.
Our own troops are not provided with houses when they retire or ar invalidated out, neither are their spouses if they are unfortunate to be killed.
The gurkhas are without doubt the most loyal to queen and country, and they return to fight for queen and country through generations.
But so are our own troops, but as it has often been said on this site, 'No one forced them to join up'
Yes there is little support from some, for our own troops never mind foreign ones.

What I can't stand though is the people who look on the Ghurkas as the acceptable face of colonial troops and completely overlook those other countries.
And the French can hang their heads in shame too!

To me the issue is not one of emotion, they fought for us etc (actually they were part of the Allied cause), it is one of numbers - 36,000 - and where does it all end?
Does Britain grant automatic immigration rights to every country that sent anything from a single platoon to a massive army to fight the Allied cause?
Another small town of immigrants, where shall we build it - Lancashire, Norfolk, how about right next to YOU?
What is so wrong with where they currently live?

I'd welcome them with open arms, personally, but have you seen the criteria they have to meet first?
1. Must have served at least 20 years in our Armed Forces.
2. Must have been decorated or nominated.
3. Must have sustained injury.
And the immigration Minister, Phil Woolas, has been whingeing about the Public/Gurkha supporters whingeing about how difficult he (Woolas) has made it for them.
I notice that Mr Woolas and his cronies have not made it quite so difficult for certain "asylum seekers" etc to gain access to the UK?
