Being Prepared

Whatever problems or conundrums may be thrown at us by the twenty-first century, the Conservatives can be relied upon to provide nineteenth-century solutions. Accordingly, the Government has decided that there is another solution to child poverty besides increasing child poverty, and this is to get them into uniform and teach them a bit of discipline and rah-rah. That will stop all the blubbing and reading of Socialist literature, and will also be a handy source of dupes for the next generation of wog-bombers, strongman-helpers and other peacekeeping forces. Far better that a new and debased form of National Service should be inflicted upon the fiscally subhuman, than that the Government should waste taxpayers' money on youth services in civvies, thereby subsidising vast Brussels-supporting cadres of the undisciplined and non-militarised.
