Sunak wants all 18-year-olds to do 12 months either in the military or out in civil society


This will no doubt change the dynamic of the election

I wonder how Labour will respond, I will be interested to see

I think this will play well to the political right

I've always been against conscription. But at least they can opt out of military service if they wish. Working in social services, hospitals, national parks, etc. might be good work experience and help a young person along the career path of their choice. So, if it has to be mandatory, let them choose their own job or which government department they wish to work for.

If I had to make such a choice, I'd volunteer to work for the Ministry of Silly Walks.

Sunak’s lost the plot. Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if he declared war on Russia, just for the headlines in the right wing press.

I missed out on the last conscription by a couple of years and will likely do so by a lot more now, if such ever gets to become reality - which I doubt. o_O

In my country they withdrew the compulsory military service for 18 year old men...because...you know...
all those muscular young super-studs altogether in those steamy military bases...
well it had become too promiscuous.
Too many little playful men...for the Ministry of Defense. ;)

Money could be better used by the army to build British Tanks and arms and drones using 3D Technology.

I had been very curious about the approach the tories would take. How do you fight effectively from the position they are in? I was expecting culture war hysterics. "Starmer will trans the children, free the rapists and invite the terrorists in" type stuff.

Did not expect this at all. Then they walked it back. Even though I was a very big fan of Corbyn's platform, I didn't think I'd ever see a campaign less politically astute than Corbyn's effort. But here we are.

Still time for it to get down and dirty, I suppose.

I think Sunak's policy team is run by Labour, they are having a 'mare
There is a mole in the tory party - and they're heading up the election team.
This is a fantastic policy announcement. Here's to more of the same.
Who on Earth do they think they're appealing to?! They' ve just ensured every 18 year old in the country that votes won't vote tory.

Unfortunately, whoever wins the election shall have to implement something like this, not due to ideology but due to the unstable current unstable circumstances in the world. These are not times of peace.
