It makes you want to spit!

24 years a soldier for Britain. Military Cross. Exemplary record.
Now yet another Gurkha is being shafted by our government.
Shame that he is not an illegal immigrant, really.

Mr Gurung, who was an army captain, has been told that he must fork out an impossible £500 for a visa fee to get treatment here following his massive stroke which needs treatment unavailable in Nepal.
These are of course, the same Gurkhas who do not receive proper service pensions.
You sometimes feel that the government deliberately rewards the unworthy and turns its back on the decent and righteous.
Appalling - but typical!
