Support the Gurkhas

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 24:  Actress Joanna Lu...
Nice lady - nicer man

There is an online petition which can be “signed” in support of the Gurkhas, and specifically in protest at the ridiculously insulting decision made by the government recently as regards their rights to enter the UK. I know it’ll make **** all difference – when was the last time our government actually gave the slightest toss about public opinion? – but at least it makes you feel good to vent off with other people.

It just disgusts me that our government seems to be happy to wait hand and foot on filth like the chavs, but treats genuine war heroes with disdain. Please, sign it. Unless you’re a chav. In which case I understand that you probably can’t even spell your own name, likely change address every time you trash the house I’m paying for out of my taxes and wouldn’t know a Gurkha if he came up behind you and slit your throat.

Hell, if one did that he could have my room.

And, no. I didn’t sign it just because Joanna Lumley looked hot in various frocks in The New Avengers all those years ago. And Sapphire and Steel. I really should dig out some copies of those.
