			Yes!
 Glasgows Michelle Moan. Former business woman turned peer and muppet, apparently made lots of money during covid for various dodgy reasons and has hardly been seen since it all came out.

The guy is a complete moron. He wants to make it harder for people to work in the public sector? This also means it's easier for a immigrant to get a job in those services than someone whose British and didn't do the national service.

Anyway, his favouritist soccerball  team,  Southampton Rovers, have won a game of kick ball

Apparently only 30,000 max would be allowed to do "Military Training". 
Thats about 4% of current 18 year olds, the rest would do Community Service (or "volunteering" as they call it).
 
I bears little resemlance to what most people think of when you say "National Service".
 
Not that any of this matters, since they have about as much chance of winning as I do of winning the Lottery Jackpot this year.
 
(In fact, I'd say my odds of winning are far better atm).

			How to have a protest vote in a constituency that has been solidly Tory since its inception in 1974?
 Any ideas? Because essentially that's what I've been doing since I began voting.

 |  I'm sure there will be some tactical voting websites up and running soon (if there aren't already). Given the current polling, can any Tory seat be considered safe at the moment?
