Discrimination against minority's.

It seems like those with substance misuse issue's aren't the only one's being discriminated against by our Government. Last week I read with horror the plight of the retired Gurkha's in this country. Nepalese Gurkha's have served in our Army for over 200 years and yet on retiring only receive, on average, £131 a month, which pales in significance to their British counterparts.


The feelings are running that high about this disgrace that around 2000 Gurkha's attended Parliament to watch 50 of their veterans hand back their medals in protest at the Government's "immoral discrimination" against them.



On top of all this the Gurkha's that retired before 1997 don't even have an automatic right to stay in this Country. This is adding insult to injury, and needs to be addressed. Questions were raised at Prime Minister's question time and the PM's response was that Labour was the first Government to have raised the Gurkha's pension at all. This demonstration happened a week ago. Nothing has happened since then!
Well I'm very sorry Mr Brown, but this simply isn't enough. These people have spilt blood for this Country and then you stab them in the back.

What hope do minorities in this Country have when their Government can treat them unjustly and get away with it?
