Very sad story of colonial abuse, by... ermm us :oops:

The Americans have treated their 'coloured regiments' in an appalling fashion in the past too.

And we call ourselves 'civilised'. :roll:

As a general rule,wars are fought by poor people for the benefit of rich people.We have a long and dishonourable tradition of ignoring war veterans and their families,and our treatment of foriegn former British military people is an extreme example of this.

We (well, our wretched excuse of a government) are still screwing our colonial forces over.

Ghurkas, arguably some of the best soldiers in the world, don't even get a pension :evil: Not exactly like it would cost much either.

Seems giving the Vicky Pollards of the country and their army of barstards enough benefits to fund their nicotine habbit it considered a better use of tax payers money :roll:

indian soldiers who served with us in ww2 dont get any pension or benefits of us,yet those who fought for the japs get a pension of the indian government,ghurkas are prime example of people not getting what there owed,yet you can do fook all and get everything for free of this country regardless of what you have done :x
