    Angry Another nail....

    Yesterday, again, the Government did show us how out of touch with immigration they really are.

    If there is, in this world, one specific group of people worthy of entering and settling in the Uk is the Gurkhas and their immediate families.
    For a couple of hundred of years, this proud people, served the Uk faithfully and loyally, with disregard for their own safety, in many combat zones around the world.
    Tens of thousands of them didn't make it back, and this the gratitude shown to them.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8014265.stm

    This new labour, is set in destroying anything to do with British history and heritage.
    I am pleased that they (the Gurkhas) will continue to fight unfairness and try to put things right.

    I haven't decided which group I prefer yet:

    1. 100,000 Gurkhas and relations
    2. 100,000 European layabouts scalping off our benefit system

    erm..... ......difficult one that!

    I understand your dilemma.

    But which of the two groups "earned" the right to be here and didn't get by default??

    pressure groups formed by people on work permits and tier one visas are putting pressure on some members of the house of lords to put changes in the new immigration bill, so it doesn't effect people already here, and they have backing for some lords who have made the amendments.

    if your in the British forces, surely your working for a uk employer - the gov. so those who have been in the forces for 5 years or more should be given the same rights as those who are in the uk on work permits, the right to apply for ILR. why are lords or MPs not making this simple change

    Personally if someone offers to give up their life for the nation and after 5 years they can have ILR fair enough. Then surely its almost rude to them, that someone who comes here for personal gain (ie a well paying job i presume to what they can get at home) gets it in the same time..

    Im putting the case for those in the Armed forces rather than trying to put down OFWs by the way.
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
