Victory for Joanna Lumley on behalf of the Ghurkas.

Well done Joanna

On behalf of the country. Their arrogance towards the Ghurkas is secondary to their arrogance in the face of public opinion. They don't need to lose many votes to lose many marginal seats at the general election, and this single act of total disregard for the opinion of the people will translate into enough votes to lose the majority of them.

When will Governments learn that they can't ignore public opinion if they want to remain in Government? It's hardly rocket science.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith told MPs she was "proud to offer this country's welcome to all who have served in the brigade of Gurkhas".

That`s not what she said last week.

Very true Crabbit. Lst week she said "that was a crap p0rno film, thank God we aren't paying for it"

one wonders how many, duck houses, moat cleans and p0rno films over the years that we have paid for and never seen. intersting to note that alot of "Blair babes" have been on the fiddle, can't wait untill we see the back dated stuff on what he claimed.

To pull the two stories together, I calculated (from available estimates) the the cost to the UK of allowing a Gurkha family to reside in the UK for a year is way less than one moat cleaning.

Back in context I believe.

Sad but true Scunner.But what a great outcome.In a matter of a few weeks people power has got the politicians and whitehall on the retreat.It looks like the gravy train has hit the buffers and a large number of its passengers will have to disembark at the next election.
