There is already discussion in recent days of bringing back national service (the UK's name for conscription). As things stand, the media is pushing an idea by Penny Morduant for two weeks service to see how the public react (the UK Government likes doing policy by reaction). Half of commentators want full blown military service for men and the other half are saying that this is a slippery slope toward full blown military service for men.
Okay, in the articles defence unusually for me this doesn't look like it's actual military service or anything, it looks like some kind of boy scouts style crap for teenagers. It seems that the commenters on that site haven't really understood that and are immediately leaping to calling it military service they seem to be a bunch of leftist style activists on there which is no surprise.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was part of some slow creep, the fact that they're trying to opt teenagers in by default tells you a lot. I suspect most won't bother showing up the same way no one showed up to stupid consent workshops, it all looks like cancer.

Which site was the comments on? I'm convinced they'd be fake even by this country's standards.
