    National service

    Currently there is a Private members Bill presented by Mr Philip Hollobone MP that is passing to its second reading in the house of commons that asks, the government to pass a law to provide a system of national service for young persons.

    the bill is here> Hidden Content

    My question is, are you for it or against it?


    I'm for it, but then i'm over the age that i'd get signed up for it.

    National Service, which can be military or civic in character, brings together young people from all parts of the country and all sectors of society in a shared venture.

    The day-to-day realities of military life teach young people valuable skills and gives them a structured, disciplined lifestyle, which many of them lack.

    The relationship between the military and the civilians in the UK has become distant. A National Service scheme would strengthen it.

    Britain would benefit substantially from the help that a civil version of National Service would provide - there are numerous groups and organisations that would welcome extra manpower in their work for charities, sports and community clubs and environmental organisations.

    The 18- and 19-year-olds who would take part in National Service could learn skills such as IT, languages or mechanics, and gain experience and confidence through working with experienced adults.
