ghurkas
Just heard the news regarding the Ghurkas.
They are allowed into the U.K. only if they have served for 20 years in
the Regiment. My understanding is only officers are allowed to serve for this length of time, the remainder serve a maximum of 12 years.
If a serviceman holds a Decoration for Bravery, they will qualify for entry into
the U.K. and also if they are injured in a conflict.
Talk about a Government shooting itself in the foot.
Maybe easier to go the Calais route.
