Wasn't this some barmy Tory policy idea from the mid-90s that was quietly abandoned? Why the need to blanket-militarise today's teenagers? Why introduce such a reactionary, atavistic and totalitarian policy idea that deserves to be buried in the graveyard of history along with the Hitler Youth and FDJ?

I'm on the left of the party, the moderate left to be precise, and I'm absolutely appalled by pretty much everything the Labour government has done since Gordon Brown became party leader and Prime Minister. I've come to a decision that I am going to cancel my membership subscription and redirect the money to more progressive causes. Can you offer suggestions?
