It was surely, I still believe it was, we'll wait for his response.At first I thought this was satirical.
I can absolutely guarantee you that Sunak has a friend / business contact / donor, who can (quickly set up a company) to supply all of the uniforms they need.Clever move by the Tories to float an unworkable " look over there " scheme that will never reach fruition. We don't have the infrastructure or the armed forces personnel or the amount of uniforms to supply 2 or 3 hundred thousand teenagers.
What basic life skills?Have to say I agree. As someone who has employed a lot of 19-24 year olds in recent times, so many of them completely lack basic life skills that I had at that age.
As for charity work by the older "privileged", I see elderly staff working in British Heart Foundation and other charity shops for free when the CEO's are on a six figure salary.

New £2 maximum stake for under 25s playing online slots
Stake limits for online slot games will be introduced for the first time in September, including lower limits for young adults, as the Government continues to roll out measures to protect people from gambling harms.www.gov.uk
Of course, this gives rise to the question that voting should be raised to 26 years, only those with an intelligence of a sub 25 year old would think differently.
Yes. It was meant as a joke."Done their bit"
By that of course you mean worked during an era of decent wages and terms & conditions, low taxation, low interest rates and booming house prices.
For many of us in this generation, opportunity fell into our laps.
The rewards for hard work were worth having. Increasingly that is no longer the case.
It was.At first I thought this was satirical.
Phew, I nearly bit, so it was successful.It was.
Pretty much all positive/constructive experience would help kids develop, but only schooling is mandatory, think it's one for the parents or really the individual to choose.No I didn’t. But I do think it might have helped me.
There are very few training facilities accommodation and qualified trainers, certainly not up to the quantity they are suggesting.This was the government’s position on Thursday. View attachment 183004
