Boot camp
Who said daytime TV was not in touch with reality? Yesterday David Cameron proposed the idea of a voluntary national service for school leavers. Echoing the Trisha shows military camp for naughty children (I only watched it once!) Cameron stated that:
"I am always struck when asking anyone of my father's generation who did National Service by the fact that they tend to reply in a similar way - 'it was something we all did together - irrespective of who we were, where we lived, where we came from, or what god we worshipped',"
Initially I was taken aback by these comments however on thinking about them, this could be a positive policy for the Conservative Party, as long as it remains voluntary. Importantly it will form a basis for Cameron's inclusive ideology and hopefully detracts from his privileged upbringing.
