That is a great idea.....6 months of hard military training and some front line action. Although I do think there is too much alcohol and drugs in the army these days too.

Anyway I think military service should be bought back but changed to the peace core and everyone has to do a year of travelling to a part of the world that needs support, learning and exchanging skills and community building. That would really make a difference to people's lives

D'you know what Jamie - I think that an updated 'Peace Corps' idea would be brilliant! Although the Peace Corps has a bit of a 'drippy' image that could do with a bit of tweaking! (I remember them from when I was a kid, and they were almost embarrassingly earnest!).

Thanks Spymum,

As you have been so kind in your compliments I have had to take some time to read your blog and I must say that "manny's" would also be a great thing for young boys to be trained into. That would make them a bit more prepared for fatherhood and reduce gun crime, because they would be far to busy with chores and being adored by loving mothers than to be concerned with ego driven fueds!

LOL! Thanks Jamie - and so as not to get off point, England is a great country, a safe country and we musn't ghetto-ise it. Get out there, reclaim the streets, the local parks, mingle, talk and don't isolate yourself. The incident at West Dulwich train station adds to the scariness, but we are not living 'apart' American style yet, thank heaven.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
