With the recent devlopments in the Ukraine. I am shocked to see that conscription was extended to the age of 51 years when it was last deemed necessary.

That has as much chance of passing as I have of scoring the winning goal for England in the World Cup final whist at the same time being blown by Kelly Brook.

Sounds brilliant. Mind you it wouldn't affect ME so it would, wouldn't it.

 

[Mowgli37]

Despite being eligible I think this would be a good idea.

Would be a great idea. Also, can we put in all those work shy youngsters that do not look for work, do not want to work and leave them in for 5 years?

Five minutes of research would have told you it's already dead. Call yourself a journalist?

It really isn't a fact unless you've hacked both my wordpress account and Amex North Stand.

It's a Private Members Bill and therefore is unlikely to make it through.

Interesting text though.

Whilst I think it would be fantastic idea for young people to do these things; the idea of forcing them to is terrifying.

This.

I would be hugely, hugely against it.

I think you'll find the army won't want this sort of person.

I repeat - it's already dead

Latest news on the National Service Bill 2013-14

The Bill failed to complete its passage through Parliament before the end of the session. This means the Bill will make no further progress.

It's not scheduled to be read in the current parliament, then there's an election. Timmy is once again fishing. It is an ex-bill. It's stone dead. It is definitely deceased. It's bleedin' demised. It's passed on. It's expired and gone to meet its maker.

Would never have got through anyway. Someone would challenge it in the ECHR saying it violates their way of life.

I hope it never gets passed, its just stupid and wrong that you should be threatened to do something, e.g. join the army, which is probably the aim of it.

An unexpected chuckle, early on a Saturday morning, from an unexpected source.

Ask the public and you'll find that they'll probably be both for and against national service

That is indeed the aim although it's a little more complicated than just being forced to join the army. There would be an array of other options. Seemed to work up until 1960 so I wouldn't call it stupid. That said I'm not sure I agree with it. Maybe everyone between 18 and 22 should have the option of being in education / training, working or national service with no benefits paid to anyone outside those options ?
