I would have thought that Oxfam would have had a lot to say about the Gurkhas, considering that these former soldiers come from one of the poorest countries in the world, and Nepal would benefit from having ex-Gurkhas living in the UK and sending remittances back home to their less well-off relatives and communities. But then these days the CEOs of these charities, Dame Barbara Stocking of Oxfam for example, are tight-lipped about criticising the Government, which may explain why they kept silent about the plight of Gurkha soldiers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-24372089761586337512009-04-29T19:06:00.001+01:002009-04-29T19:06:00.001+01:00Cato,

Clegg has been running with this and Cameron and the Tories decided to support his motion. There's no point having two motions asking for the same deal.Daily Referendumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899003349232334603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-51975952793717070002009-04-29T19:02:00.000+01:002009-04-29T19:02:00.000+01:00I hear that Snotty doesn't consider the vote to be...I hear that Snotty doesn't consider the vote to be binding.<br /><br />He'd better!Catosayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885445175868379750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-33462338554856135042009-04-29T18:37:00.000+01:002009-04-29T18:37:00.000+01:00Why the hell didn't the Tories put forward the mot...Why the hell didn't the Tories put forward the motion. there had better be a bloody good explanation.Theo Sparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377625689882223233noreply@blogger.com
