It’s a campaign to allow retired Gurkha veterans the right to settle in the UK. You can read about it here:

There have been past controversies over the fact that Gurkhas were paid much less than other British troops. I don’t know whether that has been resolved.
The Gurkhas got support from the Conservative Party, with tthe motion brought by The Liberal Democrats to allow ALL Gurkhas to settle in Britain.
This doesn't give them legality to stay, but puts immense Political pressure for Brown and his close ZANULabour comrades to make this happen.
The Gurkhas are staying, I'd bet my house on it, when Brown passes the legislation, it'll be another nail in this vile, ZANULsbour coffin (if there's room for any more metaphorical nails in that thing)
FWIW, we Brits are proud of all our Soldiers, wherever their cultural roots are, if they stand up and fight for Britain and our historical values, they get everything that our Country can offer back in repayment.
