FREE CITIZENS NEWS ~ SPONSORED BY READERS: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has sworn to re-introduce compulsory national service if the Conservative Party remains in power after the general election, set for July.

Under the scheme, which the war hawks laughingly claim will only be around £2.5 billion ($3.19 billion) per year, all 18-year-olds would be required to either join the military full-time or work as instructed one weekend per month, with community organizations such as the police or washing backsides for National Health Service (NHS).

Sunak argued that compulsory service would help revive the national spirit to fight rich men’s war and provide life-threatening opportunities for our young people,’ according to manifesto pledges.

Trying to keep his face straight, Sunak says, ‘This is a great country but generations of young people have not had the opportunities or experience they deserve. There are forces trying to divide our society in this increasingly uncertain world.

‘I have a clear plan to address this and secure our future. I will bring in a new model of National Service to create a shared sense of parade ground at 6 a.m. purpose among our young people and a renewed sense of pride in our bankrupt and decadent multi-race country,’ 

The prime minister continued, arguing that the move would provide young people with ’life-ending opportunities to learn real-world skills like killing people like themselves, do new things and contribute to their community and our country.’

According to the plan, if re-elected, the Conservative Party will establish a Royal Commission to finalize a National Service Program and launch the pilot in September next year.

The plan to reintroduce national service was drawn up secretly with only Sunak’s closest advisers privy to the details. In the 40-page document, advisers argued that expanding the Armed Forces is necessary in the face of ’the growing international threats posed by countries such as Russia and China.’

FACT: These nations are not threatening the West but the leaders of the Western Alliance, most like Sunak are unelected by normal democratic procedures and have already declared war on Russia and feeding Kiev with weapons and attacking Russian communities.

The announcement has been slammed by the opposition, who accused the Conservatives of crashing the British economy and cutting troop numbers.

‘This is not a plan – it’s a review which could cost billions and is only needed because the Tories hollowed out the armed forces to their smallest size since Napoleon,’ a Labour Party spokesperson told the BBC.

Throughout its 364-year history, the British Army has mostly been an all-volunteer force, but conscription was introduced during WWI and WWII with the National Service ending in 1960. In recent decades, the British Armed Forces have seen significant cuts, with the number of troops falling by more than a quarter between 2010 and 2024.
