Dotjones’ brilliant ideas for running the country

From the thread about Sunak wanting compulsory maths (and it pisses me off as a linguist that he doesn’t feel the same about languages or English, but that’s another story):

Personally I think at 16 children should be allowed to either stay in education, join the armed forces for a minimum of two years, or go to a kind of national citizenship service where they live in a military-style environment with strict discipline and drill but do work to serve the community like litter picking or cleaning cars instead of getting shot at.

This is the same person who wants workhouses brought back. Some Mumsnetters really do have a boner for a militarised society.
