Rejected petition Bring Back National Service

More details

In light of the riots and people blaming it on young people being bored and feeling like they have no future many of my friends think it would be good for this country to bring back national service. We feel this would instill discipline, morals and values where parents have failed, it would give young people a sense of purpose and help them to learn a trade to use in civilian life.
