Lettuce Liz then Tetchy Rish! and the battle to replace him

[Paddingtonwolf]

Laura the Tory hard at work for the cause.

This week Starmer and Sunak have lots in common. This is backing up forty years of they are all the same Tory propaganda that is used to stifle the Labour vote

She isn’t even subtle

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Costs a mere £2.5bn.

The man is a fucking clown.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Seriously it's like he's picked up a tabloid from 1987 and picked at random some superficially popular thread that was obviously stupid and unworkable even then.

They even tried 'voluntary' (not voluntary) workfare for JSA claimants in the Cameron years. Guess what, it was expensive and worthless.

If old cunts are so keen on volunteering then they can use their own free time to pick up dog shit in parks, see how popular that is.

Works out to around £3000 per 18 year old, properly funded then

You'd genuinely be better off giving every 18 year old £2000. Stops them falling off a cliff edge from school -> no money and no job and they'd plug it all straight back into the economy one way or another. So cheaper and of more net economic benefit as well as giving kids a positive rather than a negative.

Not that it's even a good idea, it's just a better one than National Service.

I'm not advocating any kind of compulsory volunteer work but a big gang of old cunts (and some younger cunts) by us spend their Sunday mornings picking up dog shit, broken glass, McDonalds wrappers and associated crap.

Community Service?

 

[sycophantia]

Community Service?

Nah, just busy bodies earning brownie points.

James Cleverly stating that the Tories want to address social fragmentation. Presumably this is the same social fragmentation caused by years of Tory policies?

Btw, National Service was introduced post war to deal with the challenges of military manpower and shortages in the wake of WW2. It was never designed as a means of role-modelling or promoting social integration.

 

[Tredman]

The wording used is difficult and it’s ill thought through but some sort of semi-compulsory scheme aimed at improving life skills post school/college might not be a bad thing. Think Macron is bringing something similar into France.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Labour Peer Ayesha Hazarika says National Service is 'not an unreasonable thing to talk about'. Labour's only criticism so far is that it's 'unfunded'.

Tories know they're going to lose so they could troll Labour by pumping out insane policies and see how many they adopt.

Bring it back but only for members of the Lords and their immediate families.

You should imagine it's a good way to get young people out to vote.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If every 18 year old is doing this shit there will no intake of 18 years olds into university in year one, which probably bankrupts the entire higher education system.

All the 16 year old school leavers in employment are supposed to down tools for a year after two years in say an apprenticeship? Bet the employers will be delighted.

The whole idea is utter cunt soup
