Victorious Joanna Lumley
I don't use this blog as a political forum, but today I want to record how delighted I am that these Nepalese warriors, who have given this country their total support for so many years, have won the right to stay and make their homes in Britain. The government has been ordered to recognise it's 'debt of honour' to them, and the Home Office ordered to pay 80% of the Gurkha's legal costs. Quite rightly so.
The campaign has been spearheaded by actress Joanna Lumley, whose father was a Gurkha Major, who fought alongside the Gurkha's in the second world war. Ms. Lumley considers herself to be a 'daughter of the Regiment'. Good for her, she gave the campaign the prominence it may otherwise not have had. In my opinion an injustice has been righted today.
