Good.
Commons defeats are nearly always good news.
Gurkha soldiers, who have for many years done the UK's most dangerous dirty work for a pittance, have now earned the right to come and live here if they so wish. Immigration minister Phil Woolas is wailing that up to 100,000 Nepalese will immediately swarm over to enjoy our renowned cuisine, fine weather and welcoming disposition, but as Monty Python so elegantly put it, this statement is quite meaningless as the phrase 'up to' clearly includes the number 'nought'.
I suppose I should grudgingly thank my otherwise fuckwitted MP for supporting the Gurkhas. It's also nice to see the Lib Dems getting off their arses for once, although it'll take a few more examples before I forgive them for being such a pathetic bunch of milquetoasts over the Iraq war.
