    700000 18yr old in uk, so if half opt for national service over uni/college that leaves 350000. so youd be increasing the uk military by 1/3. cost of housing, feeding, training (which will take more of your regulars away), problems of those that dont really want to be there, problems of those that shouldnt be there. will they be trained with weapons or just used for 'labour'.

    i think by & large when youre 18 you know whether you want a military career or not. why not use the 'new' money for the above to reward your fulltime military for their efforts (pay, conditions, post service help).

    its a desperate popularist roll of the dice by a man/party coming to the inevitable end.



    Some decide they want to join the forces, some I served with were offered a choice - borstal or junior leaders didn?t join by choice as such but thrives in the environment - however this is a poorly thought out idea.


    A desperate sound bite to appeal to the pensioners who see todays youth as lacking discipline and disrespectful


    This government had already run out of ideas and stopped leading/governing anyway - the last desperate attempt of the drowning man to cling onto some flotsa mm that?s drifting by.


    If it were a serious proposal it would have been done, or at least mentioned 18 months following Russias war in Ukraine and the need to accept anew reality and bolster the military - it wasn?t so that?s how serious a proposal this is

    According to Sky LM released back to us by Crawley today. Can?t help feeling for the bloke. Ironically they may have kept him if they hadn?t beaten Crewe. Obviously they think he?s not good enough for L1. No doubt he?ll find plenty of clubs willing to sign him after his spell there.



    His loan has expired, and for a month at least he?s still contractually our player.

    That was in the Football League not the National League.



    Gateshead we?re relegated because they had breached the league's rules on financial reporting and permitted loans, and Southend haven?t- they have faced winding up petitions
