Government Smears Over Gurkhas

When you saw the humiliation of the government at the hands of Joanna Lumley, you just knew in another part of London Nokias were flying.

Now we see the fallout: What appears to be an insistent, quiet, behind-the-scenes smear campaign against those that supported the Gurkha cause.

It shows a concerted campaign to get back at those who got one over on government ministers. Obviously its hard to point at any one person, but its indicative of a mindset in the Labour government: a zealous need to purge anyone who isn't on message, isn't preaching the doctrine.
