Rishi really doesn't want people voting Tory, does he?
22 0 ReplyWorse. He is using people who would be very unlikely to vote tory. The youth.
As slaves to convince old folks who have lost faith to vote tory.
Just like he is fucking the disabled its another culture war attacking those who refuse to support him.
11 0 ReplyThis is probably aimed at people who are to old (and rich) to do military service anyway and with an ever aging population it might work? đ„”
11 0 ReplyConsidering the voting age is 18, vast majority of voters won't have to do it. Probably none of them considering it's a 2025 thing
4 0 ReplyOld people often have grandkids, though. Sure, there will be some that will think that it will do them good, but surely some others will not like the idea of their grandkids having to give up a year of their life.
3 0 ReplyI don't think it's wasting a year of life- you'll learn important skills surely. There's something about it not being compulsory either. So it's basically a volunteering program. Some people at that age still don't know what to do with their life, so it could be helpful
3 3 ReplyOkay, yeah, if it's a voluntary scheme, it's completely different. But the BBC are saying mandatory.
2 0 ReplyThey said on Radio 4 this morning that it wasn't ÂŻâ \â _â (â ăâ )â _â /â ÂŻ unless I misunderstood
2 0 ReplyThe sceme is mandatory. Military service is an option. But you must spend 25 days doing one of the options.
Of course the options are NHS Policing or mental health. All things tories have screwed.
So using teens as slave labour to look like they are fixing their own screw ups. Would be a fair description.
