Why is it that all the population, except certain members of the Government, are in disagreement with this. Sure if you went down town today and did a survey, everyone would wish to welcome them with open arms ...

Without googling, etc., on what grounds are we refusing them entry ?

Basically it is those Ghurkhas who retired from the British Army after the Ghurkha regiment moved from Hong Kong in 1997 that have automatic permission to remain in this country. And that means that those who retired before then do not.

AND THAT IS WRONG!!!
