"BBC NEWS | UK | Gurkhas' joy at court victory
Cold London rain could not dampen the spirits of retired Gurkhas as they celebrated winning the right to stay in the UK. Dozens of them milled about outside the High Court, sheltering from the September rain in the portico of the ornate Royal Courts of Justice, as a judge inside was ruling on their two-year legal battle. They successfully challenged immigration rules which said that those who retired from the British Army before 1997 did not have an automatic right to stay."
Congratulations guys - well deserved. The ban was absurd pettyness by the Government.
