It’s WILD how farmers can threaten to withhold food and that’s absolutely fine. But when NHS workers are striking for fair pay and a safer NHS, the right completely lose their minds. We have nurses using food banks; the right don’t care. We have farmers with land worth £Ms… we must protest for them. Like c’mon wtf?
So by all means take National Service from the Danish system.
But then provide the other part of that social contract - the support, the housing, the education, the involvement in democratic and civic society, that comes with it.

This is exactly how gentrification affects public policy by redefining what is considered acceptable in inner city areas.
