Gurkha Protest at Settlement Plight - Joanna Lumley Lends Support

[hamlet25]

Joanna Lumley - get your wallet out and start paying for the Ghurkas housing benefits, unemployment benefits, health care costs, education, language lessons, interpreters etc, etc, etc. After all, it was you who championed half of Nepal to come over here and set up tent !

[fscker]

The British led a massive campaign of deindustrialisation in India. Forced farmers to plant indigo and other crops that the british bought at massively cheap and fixed prices to fuel industry in Britain. Caused several famines in which millions of people died. Gave industrial contracts to british companies to fill while stopping any industry from starting in India. Jamshed Tata had to jump through hoops to start the first steel factory in India. British were scum and looking at you, still are.

[fscker]

We have given the Gurkhas their own autonomous region to govern . Dalits and poor and low caste people have affirmative action going on, with reservations in government jobs and colleges and universities. Things are improving at a rapid rate. Now for your other point, you robbed India dry, developed your own country and then installed a few trains, whoopee. India had the highest GDP in the world in the 1700's after 200 years of british rule it was the poorest country in the world.

[fscker]

@Mrwilwak Last time I checked "British" was not a race. I have nothing against Britian but this rosy picture you pain to the british rule in India is a lie. If you think the British East India company didn't rape and pillage India you are an ignoramus and you should wipe the drool off your chin before commenting.

[fscker]

@Mrwilwak You left all the colonies when you were asked to leave? wow, you must be delusional or retarded. Ten muslims who were recognised got corsses. How many who werent? If you are going to ignore the atrocities committed by the british, one can't take you seriously and treat you like an ADULT.

[martynrobin121]

WE WANT MORE GURKAS LIVING IN BRTAIN...NOT MUSLIMS!!!! Get the Muslims out and Gurkas in!!!

[cannonski]

Much respect to the Gurkhas. I'd gladly let all those who served their time in the army settle here. We could do with some people like them with discipline (myself included)!

[am1966ath]

It is shameful treatment for loyal soldiers.

[scouser69]

molly u idiot learn ur history.

we let muslims polish and every other dirty race into this country and when it comes to our heroes from every war we have had we turned are backs shame on uk.

i feel ashamed to be british.

[fscker]

@scouser69 10 muslims received the Victoria Cross, the highest award given to British and commonwealth servicemen during WW1 and WW2.

You British are a thankless lot. If it werent for Sikhs, Indians and Muslims you would have lost all positions in France in WW1 and never won africa and italy in ww2.

You should be ashamed of being British because you are a thieving, colonising, ungrateful bastard country who has built its fortunes upon the misery of the peoples of the colonies of Britannia.

[MollyMate1]

So many Nepalese are stone age savages. We don't need more savages. We have enough. Rather, we need to export the ones we have, possibly to some uninhabited island somewhere, with definitely NO animals for them to decapitate in the name of some despicable goddess.

[m4tty2k9]

Our government is fucking discusting he will allow worthless muslims into the country that have done jack shit for the queen and country but he will not allow extremely decent people that are well disciplined and have won some of the countrys highest medals and awards.

I hate my country!.

[dethica]

im from the u.s., and seeing the way these honorable soldiers are being treated brings a tear to my eyes, and i dont even cry much. mercenaries or not, they have done some of the most productive things in securing your country and that too for over 200 years. it makes me sad to see how they are being denied to live there while people like anjem choudary and his cronies can move about at free will. please straighten it out britain.

from your american friend

[radzroka]

god bless you and we all nepalese people around the world are proud of you joanna lumley......nice to hear that all gurkhas are back again, trust me there shall be millions and billions of nepalese gurkhas who will serve and protect your nation and it will always make you proud that you did right thing at right time.

[hiphopprajesh]

that he felt ten times tougher in the army with gorkhas........... and japanese in world war 2 was scared the shit out of us..... we scared the hell out of them................. and falkland war the brits............... only sent like about couple of thousand gorkhas with..... hundred birts we wo that war...........................­................. and most people say that gorkhas are very tough warrior very loyal friendly kind respedcted and most

[hiphopprajesh]

i am gonna tell u a true story about gorkah........................­...... 1 British boy said to his grandfather tell me your experince with gorkhas...................... his grandfather replied,....................

[macafricascot]

Britain should deport their shitty MPs.

.

[mechysonu1]

Damn you brits treat these people with respect, without them you would have lost so many battles. it was the ghurkas that saved you ass from india taking its independance in 1857 when the rani of nepal gave full soldier support to britain; it was the ghurka that held down the indian front lines from japan offensive, it was the ghurkas who protected the interest of the falkland; the list goes on. you allow drunk welfare sucking scumbags but reject the ghurkas. Thats low!!!!

[livtyler83]

They where given full rights, there was a revolt in parliament, they decreed it illegal for them not to have the same rights.

[hiphopprajesh]

eoin1916

you fuking motherfucker gorkhas don't fight in indian army they fight in british army u piece of shit............talking about

british empire your shityy Empire would be over in seconds without us bitch......... next time keep your mouth shut and watch wat yuu say

[gurung8888]

dude british empire will be over in seconds? LOL . u know how big is britain? if gurkhas leave they will get other ppl from other countries! ppl are dying to come uk not just from nepal .

eoin1916 is probaly some indian mother fer who came from india using fake id and passport! so lets ignore him! we won the battle thats what matters now !

[adebarde1]

What a complete idiot Gruff5 is. He can only spout his shit because people like the Gurkhas sold their lives.

[adebarde1]

Typical of this country that it will let the scum of the world in but not if they are a people who were prepared to lay down their lives for Britain.

[gruff5]

Gurkas are paid mercenaries trying to commit murder (ie soldiering) for money in an unjust war waged by a foreign country (UK).

Joanna, they are not "giving their lives" - they are SELLING them.

[PLasTicRaGe]

As if..U wud never kno anythg..how we had to live without our dads for a long time cuz they were away serving the Queen so we cud hab a better life..Some of my frns even lost their fathers at a very young age..selling or watever u call..they gave up their lives for the Queen...Thats called ''giving their lives''...Ignorant dude

[PLasTicRaGe]

THat comment was directed to '' gruff5 ''.....

[14SIXPOUNDER88]

muslims have never done anything 4 us...

the gurkhas on the other hand have been with us in every war since the 1st world war

Britain does not owe the muslims anything

the british government need to realise that... all this is bringing to our country is another war with these muslims...

we get done for hate crimes... but do they... fuk no

the muslims will never help us

the gurkhas will always b here

[14SIXPOUNDER88]

the way i see it is... we NEED 2 get all these muslims and niggers out of our country b4 we can let ant gurkhas in here...i respect the gurkhas alot...but theres no way they can b here while we have the problem with immagrents we have already... clean up the country n then think about letting them here... even maybe just let them come here n b educated here so they can go back n sort there country out... get the fukin immagrents out... i wish the government could see 1st hand wut happens..

[Lollertron]

keep the islamic extremists in and keep the brave gurkha's out ? you must be joking ... gordan brown = complete twat

[chairmanmao89]

hm, maybe gurkhas should have went to the FFL instead, at least they offer citizenship after 5 years

[thrallofknowing]

Seems like on the pro-settlement side the issue is a moral one and on the anti-settlement side the issue is financial.

My suggestion: Let all the pro-settlement people give an undertaking that they and their offspring will permanently pay for the Gurkahs and their offspring and the problem is solved.

Of course those who protest on grounds of morality probably wouldn't put their money where their mouths are. Or would you?

[mez6117]

We do already, its call income tax.

[mez6117]

In fact i've got a better idea, instead of the gurkha supporters paying for the gurkha (which we do through tax, and are quite happy to so).

Next time theres a war, why dont the anti gurkha supporters, go out and die instead of them?

[gruff5]

or, a better idea, no-one gets paid to go out and kill/die in a dumb-ass war

[mez6117]

Or even better idea, next time the country is danger, lets just lay down and surrender, Like the french.

I bet you would be up for that wouldnt you.

[prrrang]

hold on there. the french did not just lay down and surrender. im not french, i am english. what saved us and gave us time to fight back was the english chanel, the raf and blind determination. that war had to be fort and thankfully the right side won in my opinion. take no notice of gruff5.

[mez6117]

No but there reteated back to frence from belgium, leaving the british belgiums (and some french) to fight the germans on there own, forcing them to retreat to dunkirk.

And although the english channel did helps in many ways, it was also one of the major reason the british had very little air cover in belgium. If we had air cover and the french army hadnt of high tailed it, the story may of been completely different.

[prrrang]

the thing is that the germans were able to build a huge army, well trained, well equiped and motivated. also there was the new concept of lightning war! If we had a land border with germany then I think we would have struggled.

[wowa99]

learn a bit history, the channel of course had played own part, but biggest part was complitely in another side

[prrrang]

make yourself clear

[micbill6]

Burkas YES, Gurkhs NO

[raitara1]

jai gurkha,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,­

[IainAndrewJones]

Absloute Disgrace. Aa a former soldier I demand a resolution to this injustice. "Better to die than be a coward". God bless the Ghurka.

[rockchick80s]

Joanna Lumley - Should get a pat on the back. Absolute F****** Disgrace - Money for all sorts of Left Wing Crack Pot organisations and Causes. Our Government should hang its head in shame, makes me feel ashamed to be British.

[grabac9]

What kind of universe are we living in. Some of the best soldiers the UK has ever fielded are treated like this and all kinds of animals and trash are welcome. It's a disgrace.

[rdt1970]

Yes but they were paid for there service to the UK. There state 24yrs ago didnt say join up and get a UK passport! I think the gov shouldnt let them in sorry they are fine soliders but uk needs to get tough on immigration. Service or not I would ike to know what services overseas the UK provides for these men? Might as well give all HK nationals a uk passport i think the gov is right but i can see the gurkas point

[indigodingobongo]

Why can't Brown just bugger off back to Scotland, no that I have a thing with Scots, but they have their own parliament.

[mike2017]

Your correct !!. Gordon Brown is not as good a pm as he could be. Joanna lumley for prime minister.

[um599]

Ridiculous! Can't let these brave men stay in UK, but are happy to harbour islamic terrorists. Brown is sick

[magarboi]

It feels really good when normal citizen support our protest and feel annoyed how the government and Home Office turn n twist to avoid and ignore their long loyal frens. I feel sad my dad n grand dad fought for whom they once called good fren have shown their true color. i would rather live a respectful life back in nepal rather than stay in the UK with disrespect and shame.

[stouffer54321]

I think the campaign could really step up a gear if Jo got her tits out. I know she's not a slag or anything but come on, this is for your country.

[hunterhardie]

Support Joanna to help the Gurkhas. See GURKA SONG and please, please, remember to sign the petition AND tell our mates to d it too. YOU personally are the difference between an injustice and a moral victory. Regads to you ad yours. keirhardie, ex marine.

[GH169]

This labour goverment have been a disgrace and being from Northern Ireland i know full well how they treat loyal people to Britain.

[eoin1916]

Brits should repay these soldiers by supporting the Nepalse Communist Governments attempts to improve services and conditions in one of the worlds poorest countries.

[eoin1916]

Gurkhas are mecenaries they fight in the Indian, Danish and Malaysian armies as well. Brits just use them as cheap cannon fodder. Nepal was never conquered fully by brits and was never in their scummy empire.

[chalchitra123]

Shame on you British Government. So selfish and so cheap. you've used our young man and trashed them like garbage. Descriminated not only in resident status but also made huge descrimination on pay and benifits throughout this entire time. What a disgrace.

[weesid2]

Well done to every Labour MP who voted against their party today. The present government has lost touch with the people of this country and in my opinion are now on borrowed time in office.

[amygurl63]

I think its a disgrace how this idiot government of ours yet again show their 'odd logic.' They say the Ghurkas don't have enough ties with Britain? Well what ties has the evil, fuzzy-faced Islamic extremists got?Why do WE harbour this enemy within whom has betrayed every european country that have offered them a higher standard of living.Yet the LOYAL Ghurka has to prove they have shown service to our country since 1997. This is a disgrace! Gordon Brown - go to hell!

[weesid2]

I am disgusted by this labour government.

I was willing to defend Gordon Brown up until this decision but not now - I thought Gordon Brown would be different - Shame on you Gordon - Shame Shame Shame - Have some back bone man. Stand up for all that is true and right and reverse this decision.

[polarsequence]

Absolutely disgusting. Why is it fine to welcome in all the worthless illegal immigrants, riff-faff, scum bags and extremist Muslims in to not only settle but blatantly sponge off the welfare system and chant hatred, but brave soldiers who fought for this country since the second world war are kept out. The British government should be ashamed of itself and this makes me sick to the core to be a Brit.

[mpearson58]

Could not agree more!

I'm ashamed to admit I was a card carrying member of the Labour Party until the end of last year, but no more!

Nothing, and I really do mean nothing, at all amazes me about this corrupt, and thoroughly incompetent, government anymore!

I just beg the British people to deal them the biggest thumping in British electoral history at the next general election.

I'll even run against one of them myself if I can get enough supporters to back me!

[zrdragon1]

Shame on the British government. They should be welcoming them with open arms. Seems like if you do nothing for this country then you are welcomed but if you and your countrymen have died in wars defending this country you are told to piss off. Disgusting treatment of a proud people.Let them stay.

[stylinnprofylin]

Good old Great Britain we welcome terrorists and Muslim extremists and hate preachers as well as asylum seekers with wide open arms,we welcome these people into OUR country house them and feed them give them the overworked NHS and yet we can`t have GURKHAS as citizens because at the end of the day all they have done is stood side by side with us and died alongside us protecting the once Great Britain yeah they are a far worse threat.

[DaMuttzNutz]

If the Gurkhas are prepared to wear a British uniform, then they and their dependents are more than welcome to live here. They have earned their British citizenship.

When I think of the trash that's allowed to live in this country, I feel ashamed. One Gurkha is worth a thousand disloyal Muslims.

[gaelicscots]

FUCKING DISGUSTING

Gurkahs have fought in almost every british war in the 21st and 20th century, yet we refuse them citizenship.

Instead they give citizenship to disgusting muslims Muslims who have fucking BOMBED US .

Fucking muslims that want sharia and britain to become an islamic

[sumantamu]

UK govt. giving settlement rights to terrorist but not to real heros... Shame on Uk govt.

[acsial]

Here are people who fought for your country (Gurkhas) and you treat them like garbage. Then, you use kid gloves on seditious, towelhead trash (islamist radicals) that you people brought in by the planeload, so they could blow themselves up in trains and buses, and try to make women wear bags on their heads. People who help protect your country aren't good enough to stay, but yardie gangbanger thugs are? What's the logic here?

[fattethapa]

dont know wat the hell is going on wid this shit government......people from some third wolrd countries are well treated here who dont even deserve a 1%..but these people who led their life and spent their whole youth serving this country,,and the queen,,,and at the end this is wat they get,,,,such a shame...dont have word to say..,,m so sad and upset too

[fairclought7]

They swear allegiance to the queen and fight for britain. They have earned the right to live in the country they have fought and died for. They are the bravest of the brave. What have all these european immigrants done for us and yet they are allowed in to take jobs from the british. I have voted for the gurkhas right to live here and i urge all patriots to do the same

[ash123431]

Good lady Joanna Lumley

[delticw12]

Try living in aldershot!The evergrowing nepalese community are taking over the town in a bad way.The older members of the community are decent and respectful but the younger ones are getting out of control,you only see the younger nepalese in the bookies,the arcades or standing around on street corners in gangs.My late uncle was an officer in the gurkhas during the malayan conflict and used to tell us kids how proud he was to have served with"THE BEST FIGHTING MEN IN THE WORLD", TIMES PAST?

[alvindurochermtl]

delticw12 - If your issue's with their youth then you might as well argue for the return of National Service for youth problems exist not only with the Gurkhas. The point, which you're missing, is due repect wasn't paid to those who served in Gurkha regiments. If your uncle were serving in the middle east now he would still be telling you the Gurkhas are the best fighting men. If you think time's past that only means you haven't been paying attention to current affairs that's all.

[ExigeGT3]

They won their court case, but it should never have had to take a court case to allow them to come and live here. Labour let all the parasites and thieves in from all around the globe, but when it comes to men that lay down their lives for us Labour tell them to piss off!?

The Labour government is a fucking disgrace to Britain and the British people.

[villan81]

Couldnt agree more. Gordon Brown..... you are a fucking joke of a PM and in all honesty cannot wait to see the fucking back of you and the Labour party. People lay down their lives and you and your Government tell them to piss off ? FUCKING DISGRACE !

[g1o2r3d4o5n6]

It's a shame! A damn shame! This country should hang our heads. These people gave there blood,sweat and tears for this country and never asked for any hand-outs, And how do we repay them.... We remove there right to live in the country they protected. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!

[bozolips24]

You're damn right they should be allowed to live in the UK. They have been busting their asses for the UK for the last 200 years.

KAPHAR HUNNU BHANDA MORNU RAMRO CHHAA
