Good call Rufus - 30,000 + signatures on the list already including mine. Hard to imagine a greater injustice. It actually beggars belief that they even have to apply for citizenship - you'd think it would be automatic as soon as they agree to get shot at on her maj's behalf.

And to think that not five minutes ago, I signed. Well done to all the campaigners for shaming the British Government into doing the right "thing" and granting the Ghurkas their British rights AND freedoms!!!

Congrats to all involved!!!!

Great news indeed, but this was the High court and not the Govt that done this, long may the courts and the Govt remain seperate!

Absolutely, But it's important we do petition the Government, as it shows we are not all asleep.

It is the least we can do, especially after brave people like these Gurkhas have fought for OUR freedom.

Now, We've got to keep the pressure on the Govt., so they act upon the judgement swiftly.

I wish I could sign. My buddy married a Nepali girl when he was over there in the Peace Corps, and her brother is a Ghurka.

Here's the campaign that Joanna Lumley is backing, so get tapping those keyboards and lets hope that this arse of a government will see how much the Brits love the Gurkha's and their families for what they bring to our country.

Oh balls- didn't read it properly...

QuoteCampaigners argued this would allow only around 100 veterans out of a total 36,000, most of them officers, to settle.

That's a bit rubbish really, isn't it?

Oh Jesus... I read it right the first time.  Hooray it is.

Huzzah!
Ms Lumley: How great to hear someone speaking with a bit of passion on the news for a change,

What a Dame and she should be for this! How about a e-petition to No 10 to make her a Dame?
