Sorry, I said I would stick to blogging about my www.tour-devon.com site and all things Devon but watching the news has made me mad and so I am going to let of steam here.
The Gurkhas have been a valuable part of the British army for many many years, close to 200, and their loyalty and courage is unquestionable. Many thousands have died for us and the Brigade of Gurkhas have won more Victoria Crosses for their bravery than any other.
Take a look here to see http://www.devongurkharestaurant.co.uk/victoria_cross.html
What do we do with them when they finish serving us. That's right, we dump them and send them back to their villages as we don't want them living here. They can fight for us, die for us, save us but they cannot live with us.
How wrong can a government be. The Gurkhas have earned the right to live wherever they wish and if that is here then they should be welcomed with open arms.
Isn't is strange that within the European community people can live where they like and that includes some that at one time or the other have fought against us. They are welcome but others that fought for us are not and, no I am not against our European neighbours being welcomed here. I am against treating friends and allies that have done so much for us in the way that we are.
How about inundating the prime minister with e mails telling him to change the rules the way a court said they should be changed and welcoming all Gurkhas to this country.
My message to Gordon Brown is this. You have got most things wrong since you took over so how about getting one thing right and Just. Change the rules and let the Gurkhas live here in the peace they helped to create.
I love North Devon and with this blog and my www.tour-devon.com web site I hope to show you why it is an area you should visit.
