Rejected petition Bring back National Service

More details

In the light of recent events in the Capital and across the country, we urge the Government to consider the reintroduction of compulsory National Service for young people across the United Kingdom from the age of 16.

We believe that this would give the disaffected youth of Great Britain and Northern Ireland a sense of purpose, pride and civic responsibility that has been in obvious retreat for many years.
