Gurkhas who fought alongside the British Army have won their battle to settle in the UK following a High Court test case.

“The result was welcomed by actress Joanna Lumley, whose late father served with the 6th Gurkha Rifles, as a chance to “right a great wrong and wipe out a national shame that has stained us all”.

I also have resigned from the BMA due to the disgraceful management of the MTAS/MMC fiasco. Quite frankly I cannot believe the lack of news available on the BMA website or the poor communication with members about what is undoubtedly the most catastrophic thing to happen to the medical profession in a very long time.
Anyone at BMA House who has any idea of shame should be backing the idea of THE BMA paying ‘Remedy UK’s costs in the judicial review that the health minister has insisted on being paid. It is, after all, almost half the price of a BMA dinner.
Shame, shame, shame. I do hope that a massive change of the guard is about to occur. Then and only then may I consider rejoining.

The question the BMA will now have to address is whether it has any credibility left at all.

Its stance that it “represents” the junior hospital doctors is a sham and its failure to support Remedy UK in the court action will result in a deluge of resignations, including mine.
