New Tory policy:

What’s next? Milk having to be delivered in bottles by a milkman? Penny sweets that actually cost 1p?
It’s gone ‘The Thick of It’ very early.

How do you think this will affect the education sector Gwyn. Will the natural progression into university cease to UK children and only be available to non nationals. |  | | |

Having read around it I don’t think it’ll affect anything as it won’t happen.
Those who champion National Service tend to want it for other people’s children and grandchildren, not their own.
It feels like a bit of a sop to try and woo Reform voters. I wouldn’t have said that the state mandating what adults should do in their free time is a particularly Tory thing - quite the opposite in fact.
It’s a dream for Labour, mind. The Tories have identified 30,000 places in the military for the whole scheme. That less than have been lost in cuts over the last 14 years.
Open goal really. Military on the cheap etc. | | | |

Certainly a vote loser if you have children/grandchildren aged 15/16 or there abouts. | | | |

I think it’s even wider than that.
Polls are now showing that in the 18-40 age bracket, more intend to vote Green than Tory. The parents in that bracket aren’t going to like it either, I reckon. | | | |

Personally I think that the 18-40 age group are more concerned about putting food on the table and paying the bills than green policies. The ideals are there but also the practicality. | | | |

So having got rid of 35,000 full time soldiers since 2010, and plans for at least another 10,000 shortly, they come up with this. Loopy. |  |

I’m not clear yet on what would happen if someone refused to do it.
They’ve said not jail but I haven’t seen what it would be. | | | |

Just seen James Cleverly on the news saying they would ‘compel people to do it’.
Still don’t know hat that means. Community service for not doing community service 🤷🏻 [Post edited 26 May 9:42]

There is nothing wrong with children born out of wedlock to a devoted caring couple in a stable relationship. Marriage is not everything, children of a soulless violent marriage are for worse off. | | | |

No,but by getting married,it shows a commitment as it’s harder to simply walk away .
My opinion. | |

Perhaps some of the community service could be as prison officers 😉 | | | |

Respect for others and pride in community and its people too.
People taking home their litter from beaches and beauty spots
That sort of thing | |

There is nothing wrong with commitment Ray .
A certificate doesn’t make a marriage but it shows a level of thought which is not present in many other cases . | |
