It may be a different argument, but once we change one law like this then a second law invariably applies. That is the law of unintended consequences. While it can be easily construed that we do have a moral obligation to the Gurkhas, we also - as you quite correctly say - have a country governed by political ******* -and you will find that they will be incapable of controlling any consequential actions by others.
