Rejected petition Bring Back National Service
More details
Bring back National Service for all 18-21 year olds both males & females not in full time education or in Paid employment. Whilst on National Service teach them Discipline, Respect and a skill or trade, this will help fill all the skills gaps. It will also teach young people to respect offers and will take young people off the dole queues and give them a future. Also use them to help rebuild and repair our communities and provide much needed voluntary workers. Pay them what they would have got on the dole.
Any one refusing to do this will be imprisoned or will not receive any benefits.
