Gurkhas' cause brings British actress Lumley in Nepal

Posted on: 2012-04-29 15:20:57

I don't know what life is like in Nepal but I do wonder what kind of life ex-Gurkhas and their families have been told they can lead if they moved to the UK. You can be sure their lives here will be nothing like the exclusive world Joanna Lumley lives in. If you come to Aldershot you will live cheek by jowl in small apartments alongside people from Pakistan, China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Somalia, India, Poland and any number of other countries who tolerate each other but have no need or desire to assimilate. Another comment says you have status and wealth in Nepal, you will have neither here. Life is very, very expensive for everybody, including most British. Yes, there are nice parts of the UK and most British people are pleasant and tolerant, but in recent years this has been pushed to the limits by politicians who have been happy to allow anybody from across the world to live in the UK, regardless of their loyalty or contribution. Around 22,000 elderly UK citizens die each winter because they cannot afford the cost of heat for their homes. It is definitely not the land of riches and you will just be another face in a lost crowd, and I speak as an Aldershot citizen. Hopefully you also won't mind lots of rain, dark clouds and long winter nights too! Danny Boys, Aldershot, UK

Is she still with you Nabina Limbu ? Perhaps you would like to keep her there and she could encourage all the Gurkhas she lied to to go back home and help her do something for their folk . ANNE , HAMPSHIRE UK

I don't understand why the ex-Gurkhas are going out of Nepal.Here, they live like little kings-boasting of their bravery and prosperity.In the UK,no one cares about them but as blady refugees.Guys,time to return back and extend your helping hands.Don't you see that Nepal desperately needs you???

SO her Ladyship has run off to Napal--the only place she is likely to get her back patted .Why doesn't she come to this area and sort out the Mess she has caused here. I don't think a lot of her Friends Love her any more They have discovered her LIES . Get with the REAL WORLD Lumley . LILIAN MITCHELL, FARNBOROUGH HANTS UK

Great to see how she cares so much for the nepalese ..maybe she might like to come and see the problems she has caused in both Aldershot and Farnborough and how miserable the now settled Nepalese (ex gurkhas ) have made themselves and the local residents ie high costs of living here , lack of employment , increase in TB etc ....
