      The problem with paying Gurkha veterans the same Pensions as British veterans is problematic if they are returning to Nepal as almost "millionaires" - however, those who choose to retire here do have a case for equality. I think that the Nepal Govt are part of the agreement due to the impact on their economy.

Pensions will be frozen if these veterans return to their homeland. However, if they remain in UK they should get the same pension as any that contribute to it.

      They've angered just about the whole country with this act of cultural and historical vandalism. They made sure to do it just before the Summer Solstice too. Stonehenge is a legally recognised religious site for some Pagan traditions and it's opened to the public on the Solstice for religious rites and celebration of the date. For most people in the country it's at least a valuable part of our cultural history. For some people they've had one of their foremost religious sites vandalised just in time for the year's most important celebratory date. The people responsible should probably go into hiding if they know what's good for them.

    Rommel was a tactician when it came to tank warfare. He fell out with Hitler towards the end and was given the option of a self inflicted lead poisoning or forcibly given a lead injection by the SS. He chose his own demise. Because he was highly decorated and actually like by Hitler, he was given a full honors funeral.

    Hi John, I just tuned in and saw your coverage about the Mayanmar protest. You were talking about the Gurkha's pay and widow's pension. I certainly agree that they should be treated equally. l receive a widow's pension (my late husband was retired Irish Guards) and my widow's pension is roughly 1/2 of his retirement pension. Of course if my daughters were minors it would be more. I thought you would like to know.

    Rommel was the Army commander who was NOT a Nazi: he was simply a highly competent army commander who whilst loyal to his country, did not like what the Party was doing to his Army or his country.

      Yes, his comment to John that he only wanted to record the squeals and screams of the tourists is a load of bollocks - those filming can easily pick those up on their cameras (we hear it in every video filmed there). However, the recording device would pick up the quiet conversations between troopers, troopers and police, and between the police officers - those normally can't be picked up on the cameras. That's what he was really after and good on the MOD police for quickly dealing with him when he was caught doing it.
