Not so FF. It implies that any such posts should be paid posts. Otherwise it is taking a job from someone. Everything should be properly funded. If it is not then that is a different issue.

As for National Service, in wartime it is a necessary evil, in established peacetime a darned cheek to say the least. For those involved, some will take to it and come out a better individual, whilst others will resent and hate every minute of it and may even end up broken. Which is why it should be voluntary.

What about those jobs that most Labour councils have cut, because they can't afford to employ anyone to do them?
Whist increasing the Council Tax and giving the excuse that it is because the Government have cut their funds, even though they continue to spend vast amounts of money on non essential projects.
