Congratulations to the Gurkhas

Congratulations to the Gurkhas following the Government's defeat in the House of Commons over their ruling.

Also a big well-done to Nick Clegg for tabling the motion by which the government was defeated and consistently standing up for the Gurkhas.

It will hopefully restore some pride and trust in the ability of the Commons to hold the government to account - about time too!

...because despite their political masters and a tiny minority, nearly every one of them is great. This poster says it all really. Saw this picture over on Sierra Charlie's blog (which is great btw) and just couldn't resist re-posting it.
