National Service?

I'm sure you'll have heard about this already, and read/had any number of amusing thoughts on the matter, but the election has produced its first big, shiny policy.

The Tories want to introduce a non-military version of National Service for sixteen year olds.
Sort of like a compulsory Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Or being community service for the crime of being a bit spotty and sullen.

They've managed to find a youth spokesman to back the idea- Michael Caine.
As many people have pointed out, he's an elderly millionaire.
He's described himself as being "representative" of Britain's disadvantaged youth, on the grounds that when he was young all those years ago he was quite a tearaway. And he recently made a film that involved going to Elephant and Castle. So you know. Fix Up Look Sharp, kids! He's jus' like Dizzee!

It's pretty big of Cameron.
He's dreamed up a vote winning policy by making sure that you become eligible to vote immediately after it stops affecting you.





I really do mean to do this daily.
Eventually I'll not be able to think of anything to write.
On that day, I'll speculate about what the three main leaders' willies look like.
Until then, adieu.
