support the gurkhas

While I think the actress Joanna Lumley is being naive in the extreme in her dealings with politicians regading the gurkha's, I think she is making a very valid point.
These extremely brave people have fought and defended our country, and many have paid the ultimate price with their lives. My dad fought alongside these brave people, and he was always very warm in his praise for them.
My view is if they are good enough to lay down their lives for us, they are good enough to settle here.
I think successive governments, both Labour and Tory, have treated the Gurkha's very shoddily, and I hope Joanna Lumley and the Gurkha's very soon get their not unrealistic demands granted .
