00:00On Rishi Sunak's announcement to introduce National Service, if he gets in the next election?
00:05Well I tend to think that anything Rishi Sunak says is something I'm not interested in for a start
00:12and why is he saying it now? Because he's desperate, that's how I think. If you want
00:18to know what I think about National Service, my gut instinct is against it. However I would hear
00:26arguments for it, I would listen to arguments for it, but essentially I'm against any kind of
00:33compulsory. I think it's a good idea. Anything anybody can do to give back a little bit.
00:38If you have time, inclination, ability, we all have an obligation to ourselves, our country,
00:45our fellow people to do a little bit more than what we are. I think the pandemic kind of led to
00:51a centering, like a bringing back in. I think that might help to push people back out.
