      Okay, yeah, if it’s a voluntary scheme, it’s completely different. But the BBC are saying mandatory.

          The sceme is mandatory. Military service is an option. But you must spend 25 days doing one of the options.

          Of course the options are NHS Policing or mental health. All things tories have screwed.

          So using teens as slave labour to look like they are fixing their own screw ups. Would be a fair description.
