Hmmm? this was only after a protracted campaign which was not implemented until 2007, and only since then has their pension been linked to the UK forces where they serve as a regiment, previously it was and still is for the majority linked to the Indian army. It is an undisputed fact that loyal brave soldiers serving Britain directly retired to near starvation levels, yet another example of how we treat our own people, yet we place so called refugees in luxury accommodation and give them spending money, they all have mobile phones etc guess who pays for those , absolutely barking. One example of how far gone we are is I visited the doctors yesterday, the signs were in 16 languages with a notice that an interpreter would be supplied if necessary, now I thought that living in the UK we would speak English, apparently not? Hoooooooooooowl!
