Thread Name: BS: Justice for the Gurkhas/Bravest of the Brave
Subject: RE: BS: Justice for the Gurkhas/Bravest of the Brave
The British High Court judge in the case condemned a government policy that allowed Gurkhas who had served in the British army after July 1997 to settle in the UK, but denied that right to those who had retired before that date, as "irrational and confusing". The judge gave the British Home Office three months to carry out an "urgent revisiting" of the policy. He also awarded costs against the government.

If this government has any sense (not holding my breath on that one) they most definitely will not appeal anything. They should be looking at positive ways of improving Britain. Lets just hope that they do not mess up this chance they have been given by the High Court.
