what about all people taking up residence here having to do a two year stint in the Armed Forces?

[Bobbisox]

Then they would have to swear their allegiance to this country, they break that and they face charges of treason, they could receive a wage and pay taxes instead of relying on the over stretched benefit system here.
Only then, would they be granted British citizenship

That is an entirely separate issue, Bobbi, I believe.

Quite what we ought to do about the benefits/handouts situation lays far beyond the boundaries of National Security and the Armed Forces.

Just a thought, if you are worried about the immigrants' loyalty to this country, why give them access to weapons in HMF?

[Fudbucket]

Bobbi im guessing your revolutionary idea would also apply to us ex pats emigraing too?

Docspock so sending money and medicine to help their families is disgusting? They should be commended in my books. These people have the upmost respect and loyalty towards their parents and grandparents, something us westeners can learn a lot from as we have disgusting tendancy to throw our old folk straight into a home at the first sign of illness worried that we may have to do some work caring for them which would eat into our precious socialising times.

One would imagine there would be the strictest of arms training there TCL, jack you are right of cause, I think it is just the direction this tread went to with me saying how much it would save the country, me a revolutionary For Funks Sake...LOL
I like a debate, true, but a lot of my ideas, I realise are nonsense..lol

[Bobbisox]

well said pussy, of cause we should be more than happy to do this..lol

[Bobbisox]

PMSL at the your over inflated ego N3
What right have you to call me uneducated?
I may not know everything as you claim to, but just because I post in CB doesn't set me apart !

[anotheoldgit]

As I have posted before, National Service should be re-introduced forthwith.

The problems this would solve, would be worth the money cost to implement it.

It would solve the problem of a large percentage of our youth hanging around the streets with nothing to do.

It would cut down on the amount of immigrants coming into this country, and a large number would soon be packing their bags to escape the call-up.

It would instil discipline in all those that served, and make them better citizens when their service came to an end.

I always read your views, I may not agree with all of them, but they are concise

[Bobbisox]

No Kunni probably not, on reflection, why should they have to train them up?
