Apart from the common decency of allowing these guys to settle in the UK after serving our country I have to confess to being highly entertained at watching Joanna Lumley (whom some of you may know better as "Patsy" from the British comedy show "Absolutely Fabulous") running rings around the British Government. She was obviously so much more intelligent and media-savvy than the clowns who govern Britain. And it was much easier for her as her cause was so manifestly just.
Her father had been an officer in the Gurkhas and she was an army brat in India when she was a child so it was obviously a cause from the heart for her. Having met her a few times (my company was involved with AbFab) I can't help feeling she probably saw the humour in a comedy actress taking on and beating the MOD and Prime Minister.
