I am with that comment.
Sadley though the administration is so wired up to cloud cukoo land and suported by the airy fairy brigade that they would walk around with there heads held high. Add to that the worst case of selective deafness around and we are in the poo poo. They were quite happy to have the gurkas bolster the British army but when it comes to the crunch they are treated like the dog muck on the bottem of their highly polished, expensive shoes.
What do they think the gurkha's of the past were military slaves, convinient cannon fodder or both? Let them the pre "97" troops have the same rights that Commonwealth troops are afforded. The fact that they were based in Hong Kong has in my oppinion nothing to do with the issue as Hong Kong was a Crown colony protectorate or whatever it was and therefore British. Would they do that to any soldier that had been based at Gib if Gib was handed back to Spain?
