    Goodbye free will. National service should be bought in for all the ill disciplined trouble makers as a punishment. Sunak is getting power mad. And what’s with the "if there was a choice, I would have gone for it" guy? The option was always there, genius

    Another expensive gimmick doomed to fail. They've given £250 million to Rwanda and have nothing to show for it. Don't even get me started on the money lost to fraud and written off by Sunak himself during the last few years.

    He could've joined one of the national services whenever he liked. This is COMPULSORY national service, young people would have no choice.

    It’s interesting to note that the first generation after WW2 who weren’t required to do national service are now turning 85 years old. So almost everyone who thinks this is a good idea weren’t required to do it themselves.

    UK is quickly losing international investors and has no competitive living standards to speak of. What is their end game with national service if it isn't cannon fodder? Besides we have plenty of non UK citizens who could serve in a foreign legion

    I love all the older people that never had to do it and probably have never volunteered to do anything wanting to force this on 18 year olds... who are legally adults. This is an absolutely ridiculous policy.
    How will it work, if it's one weekend a month in for example the fire service, a highly skilled profession that requires constant training? How will supervise these completely untrained, potentially unwilling young adults? Are professionals in front line services expected to also "volunteer" train these people and take time away from their already overstretched jobs... It makes no sense what so ever.

    18 year old back in the 1950's were a LOT more mature than the 18 year olds of 2024 that's for sure. Half of them today can't decide whether they are an Arthur or Martha let alone anything else.
