(V): And after WWII the Empire became the Commonwealth. Gurkha's still join the British army and fight side by side with British born soldiers, and more recently won the right to remain in the UK after retirement thanks to a campaign by UK citizens which forced the government to give in despite the cost

it was Joanna Lumley that made that happen

and cost shouldn't come into it
many Gurkha's have laid down there lives to fight for our country so the least we can do is let them live here if they so wish without thinking about money

Snoopy: Aye, she was a great champion for the cause. and yes.. cost should never have come into it. We live near a main army base and many Gurkha families live in the surrounding areas, I see Gurkha's often guarding the base entrances as well as working in civilian positions in the area.
