The plight of the Gurkhas is not yet over, Please sign this petition.
Please read the following from Joanna Lumley:
"The Gurkhas have won a famous victory in their landmark case this week. However, the judge was only able to declare the current policy that excludes pre 1997 Gurkhas from the right to live in the UK as 'unlawful. Only the British Government can put in place the new policy that the British people want - the right of all Gurkhas to settle in the UK irrespective of the date of retirement. There is a real danger that the Government will fudge this opportunity and bring in new rules that still discriminate against pre 1997 retirees. For that reason, I am asking if you would publicise my new website www.gurkhajustice.org.uk.
I am asking the British public to sign up to it in their millions so that I might go, within days, to the Prime Minister with the largest ever petition on this issue to show him the strength of feeling from all sections of society."
