Peter Carroll has launched a petition to help the Gurkhas in their campaign to be given citizenship when they have completed their service. The Home Office is sitting on hundreds of applications for citizenship from retired Gurkhas. Some applications have been under consideration for over 2 years. Only a few days ago, a retired Gurkha was deported.
For many months, a planning application on Dunstall Lane in St Mary's Bay has been causing huge controversy within the community.
Michael Howard's unwillingness to help the Gurkhas in their fight to be granted UK citizenship has been slammed as "simply outrageous" by local Lib Dem campaigner Peter Carroll who is the challenger to Michael Howard in his Folkestone seat.
Peter Carroll yesterday travelled over 600 miles to back Gurkhas seeking to stay and contribute to Britain at the end of their military service. The Liberal Democrats are strongly backing the Gurkhas position that they should be allowed to stay, if they wish, at the end of their service, as citizens in this country.
