Rejected petition No job? No Higher education? - then National Service

More details

If a school leaver has no university place or job lined up, then they should attend a form of national service. Keep them off the streets, teach them a trade, and hopefully prevent the wanton destruction that idle youths can cause, as seen by recent riots.
