Weasel Woolas dumps on Gurkhas from a height!

Most people, I am sure, had been expecting some justice for the Gurkhas. However, it is not to be. Not totally unexpected, as this government is shameful when it comes to honour, decency and just plain humanity. Up to their necks in benefit cheating, spin and deception - the budget being the latest prize example - we just have to wait again.

Joanna Lumley, who has been a longtime campaigner for the Gurkhas, said the announcement made her "ashamed of our administration". Immigration Minister Phil Woolas is in high spin mode, suggesting that this is an improvement. Why can't he just come clean and admit he doesn't want them here.

The Gurkhas have fought bravely for this country without fear or favour always prepared to do what was asked of them. Their VC collection is testament to this. It is just their bad luck they should run into such a weasel as Woolas!
