O/T Mandatory National Services to be brought back in by the Tories

In theory it’s a great idea but it’s just a gimmick.
Most of my family are ex armed forces Marines, Paras and RAF. My son and nephew are both in Paras now.

It’s a political point scoring exercise which is shameful really.
I notice the usual suspects though are having a dig at our armed forces probably the same ones who are supporting Hamas defending themselves as loyal and protecting their freedom.
Unfortunately now there is no respect for professions like the armed forces police etc.
Self entitled society we have now.

This has given them a couple of days of headlines which is the best outcome they could have hoped for.
It is the equivalent of corbyns free broadband.
The reform voters might like it but in reality it is just noise.

Yes indeed, a brilliant smokescreen, taking the debate away from government failures and bringing up a topic that the Labour Party hadn't considered.
