I think it should be completely obvious to the government that they should let all the Gurkhas stay - as someone said, if someone is prepared to die for this country they should certainly be allowed to live here (and the same applies to any other overseas soldiers). And I think Ms Lumley is doing a great job of getting that across.
Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, I propose a toast: please be upstanding for the magnificent Ms Lumley, Bluestocking of the Week. And here's a toast to the Gurkhas too. Please sign the petition to let them stay in the UK.
And I've just discovered that Camilla Parker-Bowles supports Ms Lumley's campaign too - so I nominate her to be a Bluestocking too.
And I vote that we celebrate Ms. Lumley's new Bluestocking status by watching an Ab Fab marathon!
ReplyDeleteHear hear!
ReplyDeleteHey! Just so this:

Joanna Lumley has helped to secure the rights of Gurkhas to settle in the UK.
I consider this a victory for Gurkahs and Bluestockings.
Yes, got the email from the campaign - great news!
