BBC News are reporting that David Cameron is planning to introduce a policy of community work for school leavers. A compulsory scheme. Kind of like getting a job, but you don’t get paid. Kind of like studying, but you don’t learn anything. Fantastic idea, Dazza. I’m just trying to think of a country which had mandatory community involvement for youngsters to produce a “new National Movement” and “[a]n essential part of growing up to be a British citizen”. It was in Germany, and was very popular. Still can’t remember what it was called. Perhaps this’ll refresh my memory.
