Gurkha Friends Boost Peter's Campaign
April 12, 2010 9:09 AM
Retired Gurkha soldiers from all across Kent descended on Peter Carroll's Lib Dem Headquarters in Mote Avenue on Sunday morning to help Peter deliver his message across the town. Working in teams they delivered thousands of leaflets.
Peter said, 'I was really touched that so many of these fabulous people came to help me. Many of the Gurkhas reported back that local people were really pleased to meet them as went across the Town delivering leaflets. For me, it was a wonderful opportunity to meet up with people that I had marched with, petitioned with and fought for during The Gurkha Justice Campaign. Hundreds of local people are helping me - but the retired Gurkha visit was a real boost to our effort. It was very heartening to hear just how many of the retired Gurkhas have found work and are now fully settled in our community.
