"HUNDREDS of soldiers and their families who fought for the British Army are living in poverty in Reading and surviving on less than £30 a week." As these loyal people are Gurkhas who have truly 'done their bit' for Britain, what else could we expect?
Well - slightly worse actually, as these tremendous soldiers have never been granted full military pensions - they only get a fraction.
This is not that silly definition of racism where somebody is awarded hundreds of thousands for 'hurt feelings' but nasty, calculated, systematic discrimination.
Appalling!
[Compare to treatment of the 90% of asylum seekers who, according to Blunkett, are bogus.]
