The Gurkha's

Immigration is a hot topic usually, never mind during harsh economic times when many people hold the perception that foreigners are, "coming over here, taking our jobs." Having said that the question of whether Gurkha solder's who have served Britain should receive the right to stay here is not a question of immigration, surely it is a moral question. The government clearly recognises that these people, who have fought for Britain for years, deserve to be able to live here as those who have retired since 1997 can do, yet those who retired before '97 cannot, why is this? Surely it can't be because the Government thought that these people, who have seen their friends die beside them for this country, deserve it and it would be good PR to give it to them but to accommodate all these heroes and their dependents might be a bit hard so they just got round it by only allowing those in who retired after '97 and hope the public wouldn't notice that they had barred those before 1997, including those who fort in the Second World War. Surely not! Well the public did notice, and something needs to be done. It doesn't matter about how many might come, or how hard it would be to accommodate them, they need to be aloud in, it's the least these people who are known for the bravery, courage and loyalty deserve.
