This made me laugh yesterday when Actress Joanna Lumley put the Minister of Immigration on the spot, regarding the Gurkhas. I felt it was a great victory for her and these people who fought for this country. This influenced me to writing this poem.

It has been a battle since the World War Two
Where the Gurkha army have fought for Britain.
Yet by many Governments naming but a few,
a denial of citizenship ministers still maintain.
*************
Until it took an Actress to make a stand
for her father and other brave Gurkha’s who fought
for Britain to remain a free and promising land
now against our Government betrayers of some sort
*************
The uncomfortable Immigration Minister we all see
standing next to the actress in public and total dismay
agreeing with her that the Gurkha’s get residency
after they got their letters saying they couldn’t stay
*************
The Prime Minister denied all knowledge of what went on
unaware of the letters that told the brave men sorry
for you are not wanted here said head of immigration
It is obvious they prefer migrants from a back of a lorry.
*************
The Actress spoke with dignity as an MP and democrat
with the meeting she had with the Minister agreeing
they would be treated fairly and that was that
But you could see his MP eyes, they were reeling
*************
Looking at the ceiling thinking what have I done
is it me next with with my head for the chop
and has our actress shown the strength and actually won
The final Battle for the Gurkha’s that they may stop
*************
In a country they have fought for, many giving their lives
for an eventual bunch of idiots to kick them out now
through a lack of communication out come the knives
Stabbing loyal servants in the back and causing a row.
