The UK needs to import a division of Gurkhas and turn them loose on the looters. Pay ‘em L100 per head.

Excessive. The current Light Division has about 17,000 troops. Even looting Signals, Transpo and the Infantry Brigades of their Gurkhas would hardly bring the Regiment of Gurkhas up to that sort of strength.

I reckon it'd actually take about a battalion, about 700 of the lads. Wait until the yobbos come out at night, pull the coppers away, and Ayo Gorkali!

Unfortunately, a good many of the Gurkha troops are out of the country at present. But I reckon there are easily enough to get the job done.
