National Service.

Never happen , lefty lawyers will be along with the normal crap to stop it

As an ex-serviceman I am totally against the idea of National Service in the military. It's absurd.
However, a form of service helping out in care homes etc could be the way forward.

HE may be elected as PM,but not too far back the muttering was getting him out as soon as "WE" are in,not sure if he has the total tea party behind him,but might be an interesting first 6 months if they have full control of the house...

Wishful thinking here.
None of you have the slightest clue about the internal debates within the Labour Party.

The bigger question is who will lead the Tory Party if they are defeated and the defeat is as bad as is being discussed. What direction will they go...

Well remembered Sir! Those TV series are just as relevant today as they have ever been. Margaret Thatcher's favourite TV programme. The only radical Government we've had in my lifetime and she spent years fighting against the Blob and trying to force through actual 'change'.
How bitterly ironic we now see Starmer with that word across all his campaign material.
If you want to know who actually runs the country, ask Sir Humphrey. 
A vote for Labour or the Conservatives is a vote for Sir Humphrey and the Blob.

Sorry Oldie, but the real bigger question is how will Labour govern when they are elected, as they will be. How the Tories recover from this is not important.
Now is the time when Labour should be telling us what they will do, so that their policies can be viewed, discussed, analyzed & even challenged.

Whether I do or I do not, it is not me making up stories about the internal politics of the Labour Party, is it?

But what about Frank Spencer?

National Service in the military, well it isn't that which is being proposed. It'll only be 30,000 to go into the military. The rest will do social work like working in care homes etc.
Personally, I think the current idea being floated is a joke.

However, a form of social work can be a good idea. Personally I think anyone who is long-term unemployed (say, longer than two years) should conduct social work, even for one or two days a week. Failure to attend will result in benefits being stopped. Here is a scenario in Germany as to how this would work. A removal company wins a large contract to move the offices of a large company from one location to another. They obviously don't have enough people employed to conduct this, so they apply to the "Labour Office" for people. The Labour Office will then contact a number of unemployed to go and work for the company on a temporary basis to fulfil the contract. While working for the company that person will receive the normal going rate for that job. It saves the taxpayer from paying the benefits during the work period, it gives the unemployed person a sense of satisfaction and helps re-introduce them to the workforce, and the company gets a temporary uplift in personal to complete the one-off contract.
There are other areas in the UK that could benefit from this, from farm work to crop picking or even picking up litter on the streets. We have to move away from the idea of society giving money to people to do nothing. If the long-term unemployed want help from society then they must be prepared to give something back and help society.
