I wish the retired Gurkhas well in their High Court battle for the right to settle in this country if they choose to do so. Even the likes of the BNP would surely find it hard to justify the deportation of these veterans so I was surprised to hear the comment this morning that being allowed to stay "wasn't part of the deal". Like when people striking for improved pay and conditions are told that they knew what the job was like when they started. With that attitude social change of any sort would never happen. Freeing the slaves, votes for women. the five day week, you name it. None of it was "part of the deal". It all had to be fought for.
Ayo Ghurkali !
