Dear xxxx,
On Friday, the Government badly let down the Gurkhas. The new rules
they have announced will exclude the huge majority of ex-Gurkhas who
retired before 1997 from claiming citizenship in this country. They've
given five bullet points that virtually cannot be met by the ordinary
Gurkha soldier.
It is so obvious that the treatment of the Gurkhas has been a great
injustice. To treat them like this is despicable.
Nick Clegg has agreed to put a vote to Parliament this Wednesday
calling for a fair deal for Gurkhas. I would ask that you support this
motion.
Yours sincerely,
xxxxxx
