As Mrs Merton Might Have Said...

...'What was it that made you use such terms to describe the pro-British, fiercely-loyal and hardworking Gurkhas, progressives?'
A town risks being 'overwhelmed' by Gurkhas and their families in the wake of the landmark decision to grant former servicemen the right to live in Britain, an MP says.
He's clearly one of iDave's new Conservatives...
The former shadow Defence Minister's letter to David Cameron, reported in getHampshire.com, said: 'This has had a very significant impact over a very short period of time and it is now estimated that 10 per cent of the borough of Rushmoor’s population of approximately 90,000 is Nepalese.'
Better that than 10% Somali or Bangladeshi or Uzbekistani...

Encouraging Signs…

Yesterday, hints to Gordon’s imminent Commons defeat were appearing in the MSM:
Dozens of Labour backbenchers are expected to vote against the Government's treatment of the Gurkhas.

The revolt comes after the Labour-dominated Home Affairs Committee told the Government to do more for the Gurkhas and summoned Phil Woolas, the immigration minister, to explain its stance.
Of course, as we now know, they did indeed lose that vote, though not by as large a motion as I’d have liked. There were still 246 MPs who preferred that the UK take in the likes of this woman, or this man, while denying citizenship to those who had fought for us, and whose values so closely match our own.
Mr Woolas has claimed that giving free access to all former Gurkhas and their families could mean as many as 100,000 people moving to Britain.
Yes, this vile, hypocritical little toad would actually try to use the spectre of ‘mass immigration’ to cow his backbenchers without once pointing out that Labour’s open door policy on immigration has been an unmitigated disaster which has forced their core voters into either apathy, or the arms of the BNP.

I mean, when even the odious creep Vaz can see which way the wind is blowing, and trym his sails accordingly, how dumb can you be?
Keith Vaz, the Labour chairman of the committee said ministers should "do the honourable thing" and admit the Gurkhas.
I think this decision spells the end for Gordon – it’ll be a long-drawn-out, protracted end, but I think the sharks are beginning to circle at last...

"Pack or council, hunt or den..."

"...Cry no truce with Jackal-Men"

Wise words. And ones to heed when discussing the behaviour of this government and their lackeys towards the Gurkhas...

And Sometimes, You Win Two...

A group of retired Gurkhas fighting for the right to settle in Britain have won their immigration test case at London's High Court.

Update: Over at 'Freeborn John', there's a link to a petition to support them in their fight, and I can't see anyone who deserves support more...
