#1 This could actually help. Remember they were primarily responsible along with the SAS of securing Malaysia during that little flare up. Now having about 1,000 well trained veteran Gurkhas deployed in various sections of Londonstan and the Midlands may give pause to any Islamic partying.

#2 They refuse these guys and let in a flood of worthless, illiterate, lunatics that don't know what those rolls of white paper are for in a bathroom. WTF? Not the right kind of "ASIANS"?

#3 An astounding display of common sense and honour so absent from Britain today.

#4 About bloody time. Labour have allowed every creep who claims to be from cess-pits like Somalia in willy-nilly, in the name of 'humanity' and refused honourable Nepalis who have actually risked their lives fighting for this country. Why? Because they have documentation and so CAN be barred entry. Let the gurkhas in, throw the parasites back out.

#5 As I write these last words, my thoughts return to you who were my comrades, the stubborn and indomitable peasants of Nepal. Once more I hear the laughter with which you greeted every hardship. Once more I see you in your bivouacs or about your fires, on forced march or in the trenches, now shivering with wet and cold, now scorched by a pitiless and burning sun. Uncomplaining you endure hunger and thirst and wounds; and at the last your unwavering lines disappear into the smoke and wrath of battle. Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had country more faithful friends than you.

- Professor Sir Ralph Turner, MC, who served with the 3rd Queen Alexandra's Own Gurkha Rifles in the First World War.

#6 If a man says he is not afraid of death, he is either lying or he is a Gurkha. - Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw: Chief of Staff of the Indian Army

#7 It occurs to me that our official policy should be that if Britain doesn't want them, we'll be glad to let them in.
