ARmy Rumour SErvice

Actually chaps I've read the rest of the article and the good news is that Communities Secretary Hazel Blears said ministers would listen "carefully" to what the protesters had been saying.

"I think we have to listen very carefully to what the Gurkhas are saying out there today demonstrating in a very peaceful, very honourable way..."

So all will be well and UK PLC will do the honourable thing. Too good to be true... I'm afraid she went on to say:

"...but I do think it is difficult to do things retrospectively," she said.

I think I can translate that into terms that Arrsers will understand and be used to from Nue Arbiet spinners.

"Yeh, yeh, yeh, whatever, now f@ck off because you are irritating me"

The Gurkhas never served in NI,The GSM in the picture could be for anywhere,only way to tell is by looking at the bar.

Gurkhas have never served in NI. This is because of the tri-partite agreement between UK, Nepal and India. The British Govt. is not allowed to use Gurkhas in internal conflict matters.

After a bit of looking around it's probably the Northern Iraq & Southern Turkey bar looking at the spacing and lettering gaps on closeup........

Not high res enough to decide!
