BBC NEWS | UK | Gurkhas win right to stay in UK
Topic: Miscellaneous 8:52 pm EDT, Sep 30, 2008

A group of retired Gurkhas fighting for the right to settle in Britain have won their immigration test case at London's High Court.

They were challenging immigration rules which said that those who retired from the British Army before 1997 did not have an automatic right to stay.
...
The judge, Mr Justice Blake, said the Gurkhas' long service, conspicuous acts of bravery and loyalty to the Crown all pointed to a "moral debt of honour" and gratitude felt by British people.

excellent
the Gurkhas are extraordinary
crikey if they're prepared to die for this country then by God they've got the right to live here -- that's just natural justice
