Gordon Brown has today set the goal so high for Gurkha's wanting to settle in Britain that less that 100 according to the case's defence team will be eligible for settlement in this country. A Gurkha rifleman is allowed to serve a maximum of 15 years. The government has set the goal at 20 years service WITH a gallantry award - NOT A CAMPAIGN MEDAL - but a class 1-3 Bravery award. The VC is grade 1. Only Officers with more than 20 years service are allowed to settle here. As most officers are already British Citizens to begin with, this is farcical. In the words of Joanna Lumbley "This administration should be ashamed of themselves"
