Almost 1,000 Gurkha veterans - many with more than two decades of exemplary service - have been refused visa clearance by British embassies in Kathmandu, Hong Kong and Macau on the grounds that they do not have strong enough ties with the UK. The government argues that since they never lived in the UK, they have no real links with the country. It is estimated that between 7,000 and 10,000 more Gurkha veterans would settle in Britain should they win the case. Rai, who served as a drummer and machine gunner for 13 years and 81 days, asked for a settlement visa because he seeks medical treatment - unavailable in Nepal - for his physical wound and the mental scars he says still shake him. His application was refused in October 2006.

Peter Mendelson had a visa for his bum bandit toy boy within days of deciding he wanted the boy. Thousand of our sternest allies are being denied access to the safety and security that their sacrifices have created.
What's wrong with the electorate? Who would you rather have as an ally, the politician who is an habitual liar and gets everything his office demands; or the simple soldier who would die to keep you safe?
I know which one you deserve, and while that parasite sucks out enormous expense claims and unearned salary, we loose the respect of the very men we ought to be giving everything to.
