Joanna Lumley on the Gurkha Justice Campaign

Love you Joanna

It's an absolute disgrace how this woman has been allowed to play on everybody's emotions to get her way. Look at the amount of ex servicemen on the streets and ex servicemen not receiving proper care once they come back home in a bad mental state, and she's wanting MORE settling here which will put a massive stress on our already recession-ravaged economy!!!

Why can't they just take their pensions and go back to Nepal? They can live like kings in their own land.

I don't know why you are commenting about ex servicemen, you are obviously a spacky kid who has never served, and by the way you are a cnut.

They can live where they want, they have earnt that right.

Joanna you are my absolute idol- I am only 24 and hadnt known about this issue until you bought it up. Ive always admired you- thankyou for being such a great role model to other people in this country. You are a legend and Im so happy with the end result and in memory of your father.

Best wishes,

Thank you Very much Joanna Lumley for supporting Ex-british Nepali Gurkha right to stay in Uk with thire family. Joanna Lumley I always praise of u. God bless you, thank you

All those people who have negative attitudes towards the Gurkhas, shame on you! Im serving in the Army and am glad they have the right to stay WITH they' re familys. I know Gurkhas who have left the Army and WORK for what they have. Of course some British people cant be bothered too, or what about the illegal immagrants? They are allowed to stay! yet you complain about good people who have FOUGHT for their adopted country. As a soldier I am honored they are allowed to live here!

I feel very passionatly about this, hence all the words. Why are you moaning about to many, and driving licences and TB!!!! You bloody fool! Its people like you whom we and Gurkha soldiers are fighting for! The Gurkhas are the most diciplined troops in barracks and their billets are spotless! As for TB, absurd! Everyone in the Army has to drive, why would they be any different, their familys can learn just like you did. They are very friendly and polite peolpe. Im proud to be in the same army!

I think you were missing something mate. In my post i said "I don't mind them coming here just spread them out abit" I work with Gurkhas everyday and are freindly to them all. Aldershot and Farnborough has become an area which has more than welcomed these people and rightly so but they all come to the same area which can not cope. You are asking for trouble when you swamp a place with foreign people. Your not fighting for me either. My Father and Grandfathers did that !!

I fully agree, there are too many in this area, maybe Ms Lumley can house a few in her palacial mansion and pay for their private health care and driving lessons, and the huge rise in TB cases etc, etc. The only British institution to benefit will be Ladbrokes. I must say that the people who served the British army SHOULD be allowed to stay, but i am concerned about the thousands of relatives who have done nothing for the UK, apart from already benefit from the wages sent back to Nepal. 10,000??
