Community service in society in return for free university or college education would be better
The idea that states should be forcing people into a specific quid pro quo is quite a draconian notion.
some version of mandatory national service but in the community only and paid placements
@jaitch, I’m sure lots of people engaging with their community would help to some degree, but mandatory? If people don’t like doing it to begin with, it’ll be seen as forced labour. It’s not as if it’ll involve anything more than litter picking for most people, and they’ll hate it.

Except they've decimated funding to charity volunteer managers who would do the actual coordination, unless you run it through the #iwill youth volunteer programme thats been running through philanthropic support and financially underwritten by charities for the last decade.

The thought of national service to the armed forces is laughable.
