Im sure you have seen the news and the story about giving Ex Gurkha soldiers citizenship after they have finished serving our country.
Ive found a petition, although Im unsure how much weight these things carry, its worth signing just in case.
If anyone deserves British Citizenship, its these guys.

Done, thanks for pointing that out. Wouldn’t have known about it otherwise.
Couldn’t agree with you more!
There was one Gurkha with a VC that they didn’t want to let in…shameful!
This is just disgusting that they are treating the Gurkhas and their families this way. I’m embarrassed to be British when stuff like this happens.
Did they ever get their pension rights sorted out?
For a hundred years or so we have been exploiting these guys one way and another and it’s all pretty shamefull.
For the small costs involved, I’d happily give them a full British army pension.
I’m not so sure about the right of residence. Haven’t they already suffered enough?
signed; bloody disgusting the way they have been treated down the years:angry:
Bloody right. 
The way they’ve been treated is beyond disgusting. How f*ucked up can our immigration laws get?
In July 2006, British authorities granted the right to full British citizenship to all Nepalese and their dependants serving the British army during its stays in Britain’s former colonial territories, among them Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong, which entitles them to stay and work in the United Kingdom. According to the press secretary there are approximately 140,000 eligible to apply. Similar rights were notably not granted to those Hong Kong citizens, with British Dependent Territory passports, serving in the Hong Kong Military Service Corps (although a limited number of those applying were granted residency) or to the Sikh detachment of the ASD guard, many of whom were left stateless in 1997, nor have they been granted to Commonwealth citizens previously or currently serving in the British Army.
From Wikipedia
shows the state of the country when we cant even look after a V.C. winner, we should be gratefull that the gurkhas are prepared to defend a country thousands of miles away with NO thanks for doing so, shame on the government and dont get me started on the marine who lost an arm n leg getting LESS compo than a friggin typist
Signed, think it’s disgusting, if they want to come and live here and have fought with us then they should be allowed to!!
Sorry i can’t find anything saying anything other than gurkhas have been given citizenship since 2004
that isn’t the point, what about those before that time ?they have to apply and most times get rejected they dont get the same pension rights as ex british army, they never even got the same pay, yet they were dying alongside our troops all over the world.
Read what Joanna Lumley says in the sun today, for once an actress talking sense
yes previously they weren’t given the same pensions and pay but that has been rectified now…
Signed
