Asked during a BBC Question Time special what sanctions people could face for declining to take part in the Conservative policy of compulsory national service for all 18-year-olds, the prime minister pointed to 'driving licences, or the access to finance, all sorts of other things' Rishi Sunak floats sanctions on young people for refusing national service
Who’d want to be young in Sunak’s Britain? Sanctions for the young people who refuse to take part in national service, and they won’t be allowed to smoke a cigarette while doing it, either! Kill for your country, and perhaps be killed, but don’t expect to be able to enjoy a smoke, because cigarettes might kill you in fifty years’ time!
Kick this arrogant and petulant little pip squeak out of Number 10! Send him packing. – © Mark Alexander
