Rejected petition Reintroduction of National Service in the UK

More details

I believe that following the riots we have witnessed across the country, there is a distinct lack of discipline and control amongst our young people. Our future rests with them.
If they do not go into further education between the ages of 18 & 20, there should be a law that they must complete 18months-2 years national service. They should follow an education curriculum and learn a skill whilst serving.
