Autumnleaf, exactly, I'm pretty sure most of these people calling for conscription for young people wouldn't like it if they themselves we're taken from their cosy lives, bundled into vans and taken to be forced into national service, or to dig coal or whatever.
No one should be forced into anything, we're meant to be living in a free country, not North Korea.

Not every one is cut out to be a fighter. How many times have we seen young men and women who have been bullied by the rough brigade in the forces and have ended up committing suicide. It would give these bullies a brilliant opportunity to practice their racism and sadist ides on the softer targets, There are better ways to train young people and get them working like skill centres, work experience placements and apprentice ships.

Work Camps? Won't happen, as I'm sure you're aware, there's a massive myriad of disabled people out there who are mentally and physically incapable of working, but the government are tryna force the poor sods to work anyway.

If Deform UK gets in, IMO I don't think the Country would be as free as we are right now, we'd probably officially become the 51st State of America, given that Farage is so far up Trump's you know what it's not funny.

Yes the young generation have become to lazy and reliant on benefits

I hate to be picky but it's not their fault there's no jobs available.
More places are firing than hiring these days.

Not all of them are "lazy and reliant on benefits." A lot of young people work extremely hard with long hours and the minimum wage.

Indeed, contrary to the guff printed in the likes of the Daily Mail, not every unemployed person is a workshy slave to the benefit system.
As I mentioned earlier, it's very difficult to get a job at the moment, more places are firing than hiring.
I have an appointment on Friday with Autism Plus in Town, arranged by email last week, I just don't think even they'll be able to help me due to the limited hours I can work and limited experience beyond working in Charity shops for retail experience.

Also in some areas that rely on the tourist trade, work is often seasonal and low paid but when the holiday season ends people tend to sign on.
The work just isn't available to them and that doesn't mean they are too lazy or reliant on benefits.
Good luck on Friday.

I don't think anyone who is nearing 80 should be running the 'free world'. He should probably be in a nursing home; there's certainly an irony in how he criticised Joe Biden. Too distracted worrying himself about his gold drapes and ballroom construction 🙄. Anyone who thinks otherwise come back and disagree when we head towards WW3. In the meantime everyone are like rats in a sack concerned about 'what's good' for our young; I'm personally glad that they've got the intelligence to not be embroiled in such nonsense.

My 2 brothers served in Northern Ireland, one past now, the other in his 70s, Do you think younger people want to serve, and later find that Labour want you prosecuted for your service as they are doing for these and Iraq war veterans
