Proud to back the Gurkha cause
It was with great pride, I took part in the demonstration outside the High Court in London this week, standing alongside hundreds of retired Gurkha's. The demonstration had been organised to show the world how badly this country treats its best soldiers, with no right to remain in this country if they retired before 1997, even after giving 24 years of their lives to defend this country.

Bus Pass saga continues in penny pinching SKDC - suggestion from a resident
This email came through from a Mr. Doughty, have any of you tried this? We did ask at the Stamford Town Forum whether what Mr. Doughty's suggests could be done and the answer was a simple NO. Why?

We can't see why you can't do what Mr. Doughty has suggested.
