Why does Rishi if re-elected, want to bring in national service for the 18+ including mandatory drafting, yes drafting 😯?

I hear on the radio thismorning. Does he know something we don't?

National Service is always a favourite among conservatives who have run out of real ideas 🙂

It could actually be quite useful if the media did not fixate on the military element (professional soldiers in general hate conscription). There are plenty of vacancies in social care and agriculture that could provide interesting early work experience for young people.

@SunshineGirl I hate the idea of teenagers being forced to join the army because in war it is children and the innocent who suffer the most so reading this made me sad! 😭😭😭 But I 100% agree with you the non military option may be a super good idea as long as people with mental health problems and severe learning disabilities are not put into situations that they couldn't handle! 🤗🤗🤗 I think the NHS the UK has is a true blessing and I wish sooo much we had that here in the states! 💖💖💖 If 18 year old me could volunteer in a free healthcare system I would be there in a cartwheeling heartbeat! 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️
