Mandatory National Service, By Richard Miller (London)
In his bid to lose the coming UK election, Rishi Sunak, has proposed national service. And for rebellious youth who are not prepared to be put on the waiting line for the coming meat grinder war, these people would lose drivers' licences and bank accounts. That means no jobs or food, so he is effectively set to starve then to death, totally in conflict with human rights law.
I have no objection to national service in a country which was our own, that was not occupied territory, that was not undergoing the Great White Replacement, and which was not being set up to fight another bloody war for the globalists. But, this is not that country; not now.
Rishi Sunak has said he could take drivers' licences and bank accounts off 18-year-olds if they refuse to take part in his mandatory national service.
The prime minister has so far failed to say how he will force young people to participate in the scheme, which would see them volunteer with community groups or join the armed forces.
And, pressed by BBC Question Time presenter Fiona Bruce, Mr Sunak suggested the government will consider stopping young people having access to finance or drivers' licences.
The PM said there are "all sorts of things" countries across Europe do to ensure young people take part in mandatory national service.
"Whether that is looking at driving licences, or their access to finance or all sorts of other things, that's the right thing to do," Mr Sunak said.
National service is one of the key announcements made by the Tories during the general election campaign.
The Tory manifesto sets out that every 18-year-old in the UK will be given the choice between a year of civic service or military service.
It promised a "year-long full-time placement in the armed forces or cyber defence" for 30,000 18-year-olds, while others will be forced to volunteer for one weekend each month with organisations such as the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
The military service option promises to be "competitive and paid, so our armed forces recruit and train the brightest and the best", taking up much of the estimated £2.5bn cost of the policy.
The policy is aimed at shoring up support among the older and more patriotic Conservative base. But the party has come unstuck since announcing the plans, with ministers repeatedly refusing to say how it will work and how 18-year-olds will be forced to take part."
