Why are you saying this rubbish ? 

A couple of months ago the army chief said Britains army was too small for war and we may need to call up the public and then voila the Tories are talking about National Service!!

It’s not rubbish it’s a plausible possibility and the way things are on the international front it might just end up being reality.

I hope I’m wrong but you never know.

The last time national service was made compulsory after the Second World War it was for young men only. Will it include women this time, that's if Rishi wins the next election.

It is worrying,  and being worried makes for awareness,  we can't underestimate any country.
