      I feel like the tories know they are gonna be defeated, so are making these ridiculous policies up to try and either sabotage themselves, or are some kind of last ditch attempt to get the votes of a certain group (much like scrapping HS2 East/North in favour of other transport projects, mainly roads)

      Good luck on that. There’s not going to be enough court capacity/ jail space for them saying no.

      Why would they introduce this policy, seriously. Do they really expect anyone younger than 50 would think it’s a good idea?!

      > In a Q&A section of the document, it asks: “Will you arrest people who don’t comply?” The response is: “It is right that those who contribute to our system are duly rewarded, and those who refuse receive none of the benefits. The Royal Commission will explore an appropriate incentives regime.”

      It also doesn’t rule out putting people in stocks and throwing veg at them. Or putting them into a trebuchet and firing them into the sea. Or getting them to dress up as pantomime horses and doing a little dance.

      I’ve got a 15 going on 16 nephews and I’ll tell you this for free. That cunt should not be allowed anywhere near firearms let along and heavy machinery.

      That’s an original dead cat I’ll give him that.

      Chances of being implemented? Null point.

      And just yesterday people were saying that the Tories aren’t scared of Reform UK.

      This is absolutely 100% an idea constructed to get the 60+ year olds who moan about “the youth of today” back on board.

      What’s the point in arresting them? There isn’t any room in prisons so what can you do to them? A fine to avoid national service. Great essentially you just pay to get out of it

      With how a portion of kids are nowadays is it really smart to round them up and have them use fire arms or work within a hospital or work with the police?
