    Technically he was right, no one is being made to go into the Army.

    To be really pedantic, one of the options is military service. That covers all three services.

    Rish! is still a knob though. He might as well leave now. We know he’s off abroad at the first opportunity.

      Young people don’t want to give up their weekends doing unpaid “mandatory volunteer” work either, though. There’s no actually good option here for young people.

      Let them get a good education, let them build a career, let them use spare hours for extra earning or relaxation, because their property costs are astronomical. Don’t sacrifice them further just for political gain.

      It’s true to form for the Conservatives, though. You were sacrificed for political gain if you were low paid, if you needed healthcare or social care, if you were disabled, if you were trans, and pretty much if you weren’t a wealthy outright property-owner.
