If the Gurkhas can't live in Britain, then I don't want to, either.
China invaded Tibet. It invaded it. So all this nonsense about them being the same country is absurd. It's called Tibet. If it was part of China, it would be called China, wouldn't it?

You see, there weren't these magazines like 'Heat' in my day. Always waiting to trip up these pretty girls and make them seem something horrible, something to make them look stupid and small and ugly and disgusting.
All you have to be is kind. That's all you need. Once you've got that, it virtually rules out everything else.
