- Sweden, Norway and Denmark have all recently reintroduced some form of National Service, and France is too.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Now, months after the head of the army said Britain should train up a "citizen army" ready to fight a war, Rishi Sunak is proposing 12 months of mandatory national service.
Labour has criticised the pledge as "desperate" and "only needed because the Tories hollowed out the armed forces".

He’s doing everything he can to ensure the Tories lose the election. What a hero 🫡
THAT is the truth..Lie bore next..CBDC,,Just passing the baton
It’s clear he’s working for Starmer. Or he’s even dumber than Liz Truss
They will now never get a vote but they’ll come back under a different name
Yep, it's like May's death tax on houses. 25 days a year, that's just an insult to our well trained professional military.
It would be better to get young people to help out at hospitals and old people's homes, on schemes where they can be useful
because the next PM will declare war 3 and he doesn't want to be that person. He knows what's coming.
Does Sunak thinks his daughter will do national service in California. What BS on so many levels
Are YOU stupid enough to think Sunaks kids will ever be on the frontline? Much like Trumps kid or Obama..Jeeeez wake up
His daughters will inherit his stolen wealth from British tax payers and run back to India.
A bs distraction
Never. His daughter will create a military training business company, and he will pump taxpayer money into her company. then become more and more wealthy family.
His son or daughter would be well looked after unlike everyone else who will be at risk of getting killed, he don't care because he was born into a very wealthy life and had everything handled to him on a plate, health and wealth and no money worries or health concerns, he hasn't got a clue.
Mandatory volunteering is not volunteering
That's literally the definition of slavery.
What I think is that these people who are saying it's a 'good thing' will very quickly change their minds when their own children are sent to the front line!
Thank god our heros of ww1 and ww11 didnt think like you
@@julielawlor5482 "WW11" 💀💀☠☠😭😭
He must want the young to get out and vote against them.
He wants 18 year olds to do it next year they can’t even vote het
Even better, he wants to enslave 18yo to go and kill for capitalist interests to defend that system which has destroyed their future, and somehow thinks making them trained soldiers who are handy with guns is going to end well for him.
Yep and their parents and grandparents. No wonder the country in such a mess the government evidently doesn’t have its finger on the pulse and has zero idea what ordinary people are dealing with or thinking for all their so called Think Tanks. Maybe they should use some common sense if they have any

@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986 Very good point.
The Tories have taken away your futures and your freedom of movement now they want your weekends too.
Meanwhile they're stealing the coffers
Not just your weekends .. they with this they are saying that theirs a possibility you loose you life and they don’t care.
i moved to paris from tottenham in 1986.
no freedom of movement.
no degree..
no familiy..
no money..
stayed 18 years legally..
maybe the problem is you
@@francescapowell1538First off how will they lose their life? You’re not going to get deployed when conducting national service unless there’s an extremely major conflict. And if that were the case you’d be forcibly conscripted anyway just with less time to go through training
I don’t understand why people are so afraid of national service, from what I’ve read and heard it’s either from
A) People don’t have a single clue what national service entails or what it is
Or
B) they don’t want to get their lazy A off the couch and lose some weight.
I’ve had mates go through and currently going through national service aboard (it’s really not uncommon) and they’ve loved it, taught them skills, builds confidence, increases fitness.
The two main concerns I have is B the budget is not there for it especially with this Tory government and the other being the lack of facilities to support it.
@@carwyngriffiths Unless there’s an extremely major conflict …
Right so Britain getting involved in lots of wars that they need not… no longer part of the EU, creating enemies left and right.
Claim they ain’t got all the means to back themselves in a war and now they trying to bring back National Service!
Seems like they fattening the pigs (an analogs) for slaughter, for when ish hits the fan.
So miss me with the foolishness.
Let them send their own children if it’s all cool and not that serious.
Volunteering is voluntary. National service is not.
Tbh he needs to go ! but has to be b4 there 18 years old.. 13 and up i would say sending kids to army training and Life is not bad idea! Especially ones hanging around with nothing to do and getting into trouble given them discipline and skills to doctors and other stuff just the time but is suspect with Ukraine

Why do people keep saying unpaid?
It is 25 days contribution a year calm down.
@@uncled39because it's unpaid. If you join the military it's paid but not if the force you to volunteer in the community.

He’s now trolling us. Clearly doesn’t want to win. Bonkers pledge.
Young people are already fleeing the country, this will cause a mass exodus for all under 30’s.
He has gone completely dolally
Yep, even announced an election and didn’t even tell his own party.😂
I am 100% young British male. I am too lazy to fight for this country, i would rather play COD on my PS5 where i can respawn. I heard in in real war you cannot respan back to life apparently. I've taken 20 days off work aready this year, because of "illness" ;-) , I cant imagine in the national service.
The military don't want it and kids need weekend jobs, not volunteer work where the tories crashed public services.
He’s just lost every potential voter who is turning 18 in the next 5 years and potentially some parents
In fairness those turning 18 soon can’t vote
But even then having so many teenagers against you has an impact considering the campaigning and anti Tory sentiment they’ll spread
So many parents will now vote against the tories
He’s given them the motivation they need
All parents with any sense
Why are you scared of national service. My female cousin did it in another country in the army. You lot need to learn responsibility. and discipline. You can join a charity or do something productive for your country
It's just dog whistle nonsense trying to keep the grey vote on board and stop them them from voting for reform.

@@sammym9259 I'm expecting him to put up taxes by 40% next week.
What a 🔔 end, imagine sanctioning those who dont comly. What an absolute pile of shite.
They should send all Tories over 40 years old to Ukraine.
An unelected failure seeks the impossible. Bye-bye to all the Conservative and Unionist National Treasures.
It's a good idea but how much do they earn, the main pull!
Britain is its own enemy.
It’s a great idea. No pay, just get it done. Countries in much better state that the UK currently have got this in place. Bring some pride to this country back, time for kids to get it done !
When the real prime minister is an actual spitting image puppet 😳
They're clever actually ..... If youngsters sign up for training, then they'll be the first for call up if a vvar starts in eastern Europe ..... And they're going to sign some papers not knowing the consequences of joining these voluntary bulls*it ....... And there will be vans snatching volunteers who signed up just like videos of ocrainians doing same thing ........
It's insane. As a French citizen, I completed my national service in 1996 in the military. I was in one of the last contingents as it was abrogated in 1998. (1) Those with connections either did not do it or landed in cushy jobs (posted at embassies in clerical roles, no guard duty there). So much for equality and bridging a fragmented society! (2) Graduates were treated as cheap, educated labour by professional NCOs, most of whom did not even have the baccalaureate, could barely write, terribly racist and stupid. And you had to accept taking orders from these idiots like slaves. (3) Posted in filthy barracks. Disgusting food. Fancy finding worms in your green salad because it was not properly washed by a fellow conscript! (4) Those graduates who extended their national service by 3 months for officer training were considered worse than privates by professional NCOs. No benefits there. (5) That one year (it was 10 months at the time) delayed entry into the world of work. Everyone counted the days until "Liberation". Everyone hated it there. (6) Terrible salary. Back then on £120 equivalent per month! With one return train ticket back home a month. No perks, nothing. (7) Who would want to serve for an institution that serves greedy politicians who wage illegal wars? There is no such thing as society anyway as the Tories remind us!

Been to many countries over the years with National Service never met any who did it and thought Yes!
Quite the opposite.
If we don't give them 0 seats then we are the idiots.
You cannot force people to volunteer. It ceases to be voluntary and becomes slave labour. The desperation is palpable from this failing government.
Why doesn't he volunteer to live on universal credit for a year
Why would he do that?
He's got a job.
Good idea seeing as expects others to live on a quarter of what he spends on his daughter’s private schooling!
@@lervish1966 And why would anyone in their right mind voluntarily participate in "National Service"?
@@Politely_Indifferent its better than turning to crime or a life on the dole..
Tories going full fash with this national service nonsense. Unpaid compulsory labour isn’t volunteering, it’s slavery. Zero seats.
It's going to cost £2.5 billion, of which I'm sure a big chunk is going to some Tory donor/crony.
More waste of money from the Tories
Remember to tactical vote
Another unpopular idea, bye bye
had the cause be good then yes send the kids but it seems that the services are more inclined towards millionaires...
Maybe, instead of National Service for 18 year olds they should introduce national service for MPs.
They all have to do several weeks volunteering in a school, GP, hospital, care home, social care and police within their first 12 months in office. All these ones saying good idea, soon change there mind when they send on front line as cannon fodder.
Or National Unpaid service. "Investing in young people£ " code for exploiting young people.
Doesn't matter what he pledges, he'll be on the first flight to California on July 5th.
Got to get all the results in first, then resign. So, make it July 13th.
It will be 5 July. Labour will have their 326 declarations by 3am or so. King will invite that afternoon. It works very quickly when there's a clear majority.

@@user-nb4pi7yp3qI think that should have been spelled Moronic
I don't think most of the journalists covering this are really listening to who they're interviewing. It's not mandatory military service for everyone, there is a choice of military or civil service.
However, forcing people to work without pay for any reason is pretty sketchy.
As if we don't have enough civil servants on the taxpayer's payroll!
The idea of “mandatory volunteering” is an oxymoron. There is a reason why Western Democracies moved away from national service and conscription. Having a professional military of people who sign up and want to be there produces a much higher quality and is less wasteful. Training disinterested people for 12 months is a complete waste of money.
He could say anything because no-one expects the Tories to get voted back in.
..........and yet, Labour are so batshit, you can't rule out Rishi. ( and no im not voting for any of these tossers)

I’m sorry James Effing dumbly criticises young people living in a bubble away from the real world! The glass houses are fragmented.
I think the Tories can foresee something happening in the next few years that they really dont want to oversee
Those young people saying it is a good idea should do it themselves. They would not say it if they had to do it.
They don't know what there talking about lol 😆
I bet they've lost several million parents today

damn right
10000% the bellend can do one....he's not getting his hands on my son. I'll vote Labour first!!
They'd lost this grandfather since before Brexit. Now they've just lost the plot.
Don’t comply with any government !
Growing up in London, I remember a comedy show called "Get Some In," which was about reluctant National Service recruits causing havoc in their barracks. This is another ill-thought-out plan by the Conservatives to return to the past and not consider young people's futures.
Sounds like a £2.5B backhander to Tory peer owned companies
Yep!!! ANOTHER TORY MATES SCAM
dont be so pro. also where they will go when they are retired? corp that they have given $?
“Hi Rishi, this is Michelle from Mone Military Uniforms…”
This old elites and MPs are living in bubbles, not the youngsters. That is unbelievable.
they live in their mansion but dont know that the public cant afford the electricity and gas bills, waiting for several months in NHS
Just disgusting. The youth of this country have been forgotten about my this horrible government. No chance of saving or a proper future and now the government want to tell them to join up to. Its pathetic. Luckily its just another nail in the tory coffin

If you want to have an impact on young people, invest in a youth service, not national service.
Training to be cannon fodder was never on my list of " Things I want to do when I leave school ".
It was on mine until I hit 16 and realized what bs nationalism is. Never, ever murder other humans for the benefit of the elite
Come on, for the Tories

Who are they appealing to? Certainly not Tory or Reform voters. No-one wants this, which just shows how out of touch Sunak is.
Possibly the older generation who see the younger as good for nothing. Always go for the older votes, they will be there on polling night.
@@Richievaillant1:59 considering the youngest person who did NS is 79 now, since it ended in 1960 with the last discharged in 1963. So the people who are clamouring for it.....NEVER DID IT, forking hypocrites
I think a lot of right wingers want this. Clumps of them on Facebook. They take it as given, kids should be conscripted. It’s so dumb, and it’s fascist. People that want that are not thinking it through. But people that want that want conscription. Not this wishy washy national service, so no, you’re right, they won’t want this.
So basically if you're rich you can just pay the fine and get out of it.
I'll never bleed for the UK, let alone be apart of this even if they somehow make it through.

That's the whole idea behind it, join or eff off.
@BuildersM8why shouldn't they?
I'm so done with old people looking down on us younger people like we're lazy. If your housing was a "good investment" that means housing is now more expensive for the next generation 🙄
The Tories have lost the plot. No young person is gonna vote for them now.
I can think of a thousand other reasons too.
This move won't just alienate the youth, any parent who has children under the age of 21 would be mad to vote for them when ultimately it could lead to their son or daughter heading to the frontline.
David Cameron is doing his hardest to start another war, so perhaps this is why Rishi is planning on conscription?
No parent want their sons sent to Ukraine.
Is there anything worth fighting/dying for in this country these days? It can barely take care of its own people and itself during peacetime
Best to send all of these forigners first like the French do and if they go awol they will never get back into this country. These people want to be here so much then let the fight for it..
He’s definitely trying to get people not to vote for him
I joined the Army and ended up serving 22 years not because I had to but because wanted to and that is why our Armed Forces are respected all over the world their professionalism
They're not lol
I will enjoy the whole country showing Sunak exactly where he can put his conscription. I hope he has something to bite down on.

Edit: added sources
Let's be real here. There are just over 715,000 18 year olds in the UK. In this scheme, according to Welsh Secretary David TC Davies, there would be 30,000, 12 month, placements in the armed forces. This is nothing more than a way of getting 675,000 people to provide free work to support sectors they refuse to fund properly.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. The Tories are imploding. A fox in a trap chewing its own leg off.
To clarify - when they say “think tank” they mean “room with a few people in”
Rishi Sunak is doing everything he can to destroy the Tories
this guy wants to lose 💀
Compulsory Community Service for non-criminals
It's a free labour scheme.
A free labour scheme goes by another name: Slavery.
Exactly, cut services to the bone through austerity, then use forced labour to plug the gaps. The pertinent question is "where is the money?" Always follow the money
Sunak can go himself and send his own kids
I won't be conscripted as when I was younger I applied for the British army, they said No because of my mental health.
Can't have it both ways now!
Another compelling reason not to vote Tory. I'm being to think they don't want to win the election.
LOL I am even more amazed that people will actually go voting!!!
What a waste of time!
I think so, all the recent scandals coming out and pay outs almost like they are trying to empty the money pot…
Said every lazy person who just wants a government that gives out incentives not to work and benefits for votes.
implying such a policy wont be enforced and expanded upon by Blairite red party, they're all the same, and it wont be their kids thrown to the meat grinder of these corporate interest wars.
Sunak is doing it on purpose so he can go on holiday
Let Sunak do national service wearing Khakhi shorts
Did you say khaki😂
He made his millions, maybe billions. He’s got a green card, he will go and live a lavish lifestyle, but he left all the mess to British people
For some people, the old National Service was the making of them. My own father experienced life outside his abusive family, for example. For most, though, it was, according to my dad, a waste of time.
This scheme does not sound any better. For a start, how can they say "volunteering" if there will be sanctions for those who don't comply? A more accurate term is "forced labour".
Then I would like to know where many 18 year olds would get the time from to do this work. Many attend university, and have to work at weekends to keep their heads above water because politicians do not value education enough.
Having worked with volunteers, I know how much additional work they create. They can only be given the most basic of tasks, otherwise other people have to stop their own work to supervise.
It made me laugh when Cleverly said that young people live in a bubble. Politicians do that all the time. They may run a constituency surgery to allow people to speak to them, but from the experience of people that I know, they show little interest and quickly palm the constituent off onto a junior member of the team. The average 18 year old probably knows more about the real world that the average politician.
I can't imagine that the army is best pleased at the thought of large numbers (was it 30,000?) of squaddies turning up untrained and unprepared. Had they wanted to join the army they would have done so. The military are already underfunded, yet Sunak wants to give them additional responsibilities.
A half-baked plan which is way too expensive and appears to have more problems than positives. Some young people will benefit, but the majority will not.
Yeah i dont think so Sunak, good riddance to you and your awful party.
Sadly, Kier's probably worse.
I live in Belfast in the six counties that the UK insist is still part of the UK. My Grandchildren will NOT be any part of the UK's national service. Apart from that, surely the people in the UK can see ex-service men and women have been so poorly treated, with many left homeless, including those with missing limbs.
And how they treat those kids before they reach 18.
Child poverty in the UK is at over 30%, and as high as 72% in some areas. Over HALF OF THE CHILDREN IN THE UK ARE STARVING AND LIVE OFF FOOD BANKS.
Then the government wants those same children, they have forced to starve and live in poverty, to get conscripted into forced labour for two years as soon as they reach adulthood.
Geezus, the young should not stand for that, neither should anyone.
The elites STARVE OUR KIDS, FREEZE THEM IN THE WINTER DUE TO FUEL PRICES then they decide they OWN THEM AS CHATTEL FOR 'SERVICE TO THE CROWN'.
National Service but not for the privileged sons and daughters of the wealthy or for those of celebrities. You just know anything they bring in will be watered down and aimed at the less well off and working classes.
Most teenagers cannot wipe their own backside never mind defending the country
Strange little man.
Nationalise our water and trains, not the youth!
So they just lost the vote of parents and the youth… 🤦🏻♂️
Once you did military service, you're much more likely to be conscripted back into service (and most likely go to war) later on in your life.
Ukraine just conscripted all 25-60 year old men, and those who had prior military experience were the first to be conscripted.

I'm confused. The UK wants to address "isolation " among youth by forcing them to volunteer 25 days a year? How about the Tories leave their isolated pads and lofts where they hold tax payer parties and get out to see the misery of their constituents.
What a w⚓️
A policy for social integration coming from a prime minister who said he didn't have any working class friends 💀💀
It's impossible! We can't even fund the armed forces we already have...
They haven't quite finished raising the accommodation blocks erected for the last National Servicemen and their families.
@@suzyqualcast6269 THAT DOESN’T SURPRISE ME AT ALL! The accommodation that the services and their families have to put up with is an utter disgrace. I think there was on last year alone at Caterrick garrison , I think; eleven thousand call outs for issues regarding family houses for families
National service IS giving young people the biggest incentive ever to register to vote and vote for anyone but the Tories! Sunak is really insane!
lol wtf, is he trying to hammer the nails into his own coffin?
What a clown!🤣
No Rishi you can't use young people to run public services for free while you use all the taxpayer funding to pay for pensions and social care for the elderly.
Unpaid compulsory labor
It’s not the Labour the young should be concerned about! This is Sunak wanting to send all our young men and women to the meat grinder in the Ukraine!
