Gurkha veterans who were refused the right to settle in the United Kingdom because they retired before 1997 were treated unlawfully and the policy used to reject them was misleading, a high court judge said yesterday. In his ruling, Blake cited the military covenant - which provides UK armed forces and their families with proper care, in return for asking them to risk making "the ultimate sacrifice for their country". He said: "Rewarding long and distinguished service by the grant of residence in this country for whom the service was performed would be a vindication and an enhancement of this covenant."

The Judge in this case raises a fundamental question, what Covenant?
Successive British governments have paid lip service to the Military and to former soldiers. Now they insult us further by having homosexual Gordon Marsden MP and what appears to be anti Forces MP Joan Humble as Persons responsible on Veterans matters.
Not in my name they wont.
