Gurkhas Betrayed by Britain

Gurkha who have served for the British Army are famous the world over for being one of the toughest fighting men to have walked the earth and for years they have been fighting an uphill battle for their right to live in the UK and become UK citizens.

Check out the article from The Scotsman. But really, it's ALL over the British press.

Basically in short a new law was passed that would allow another 4,000 odd Gurkhas to settle but the criteria are so picky and complicated that hardly anyone would really qualify for them. In other words, it's a clever little catch 22 that politicians love to throw around. Basically Gurkhas will be required to have 20 years of service but a rifleman (which is the role the Gurkhas fill) can only serve for 15 years. Sounds like the type of bullshit politicians love to push around (HAH! Gotcha! sort of shit).
Never mind the sort of support and aid that goes into asylum seekers that haven't done a thing for the UK except be a burdern and a problem (and in some cases may have fought against British soldiers in Afghanistan).

Gurkhas have served the crown in the past

such as Victoria Cross recipient Tulbahadur Pun

And continue to serve today

like this Gurkha in Afghanistan.


You'd trust politicians to screw over some of the best people on earth so royally.

But you know what?
If they were White this would have never happened. They would have full rights after about four years service and have a very short road to citizenship.
The fact that there are disloyal asylum seeking assholes who are getting board, food and allowances off tax money while these people who have served the crown since 1817 get the shaft disgusts me to no end.
It makes you question everything you learned about decency, that by doing good, by being courageous... you will be rewarded. Obviously not the case.

Look at this article from 2007 about how Asylum seekers, mostly Muslims (who generally don't think very highly of the West and its principles) were invited to a Christmas party in Calais where they were fed but not sung Christmas carols incase they were offended (yeah, the logic behind this escapes me, Christmas party is okay, Christmas carol, not ok. Ok....).

Wow... Just wow...

Loyalty and honor have just been reduced to bullshit.
