"Teenagers. Not as extreme as radicalisation, but hanging around with people who have very questionable views on life, people, school, jobs, crime, England etc. What can be done, if anything, to get them back on the right track? What if it's one of their parents with the extreme views- is that a lost cause? " They'd fit in a treat here with those views. Fabbers of the future... | |||

I work with gangs so see lots of changed behaviour. People are only ever doing the best they can with the tools they have. | |||

"I meant national service as in the army " Can I ask if you’ve ever been in the army? When I was in, the last thing I would of wanted in the arse end of nowhere is having to rely on some conscripted sprog who didn’t want to be there. Also, being a soldier is something to be proud of that requires the right kind of man or woman. Not just any Joe Bloggs off the street. | |||

"From a parents point of view you have to rely on the good lessons you’ve taught them earlier in life and hope they remember these lesson once the allure of the new person has worn off. What if they don't?" At certain ages, you can reel them in a bit. You can ground a 14 year old. You can’t if they’re 18. That’s when you have to rely on the ground work already done. | |||

Meanwhile, A couple of thousand street cleansers or so would be sitting at home on the dole regaling each other with anecdotes about the broom they had for 14 years. Don't even start me on how some of disaffected of this country would react to being called up to serve. It's a stark racing bonkers notion that NS is the answer to anything at all. | |||

Being in the army is ultimately about being able to kill people. I’m not sure what you’re advocating training them in as you’re not wanting them to do soldiering work. Sounds like some sort of blackshirts thing...... | |||

"Op if one of them is your own all you can do is support them and debate the issues, challenges are often at that age rebuked and whilst most will not have the wisdom of some in the later years passionate views are common with some younger people.. They may come through it as most of us probably did.. If its getting to the point of violent radicalisation for one cause then that is a personal dilemma for which peers and some others in the same boat will be a help possibly.. " Good point about debate. I remember I knew everything about everything when I was a teenager though.  | |||

But if it's the parent that's the issue, grounding won't work as the kid is still in contact with the parent. | |||

Come back and let me know how you get on. why would it be my job to get them to it, if it is law then it would be a police matter" You're avoiding the issue. There are far too many disaffected people (extremists and Jeremy kylists) in this country to make NS work. Not to mention those with a genuine grievance against our forces. If you think I'm talking like it's a fact then that's because It is. Comparing the UK to South Korea where less than 4% of the population are immigrants (I hate that word) just shows how out of touch you are. Have you never seen the debates around Remembrance Sunday and wearing the poppy? A poppy, for one day. How do you think 2 years in the army is going to go down? It's a boat we don't need to rock. There's a host of other reasons too but I'm not one to sit here spouting off facts. | |||
