00:00 Conscription's been ruled out by Downing Street after a warning was issued that

00:04 there might be a potential war in the future between Britain and Russia. Do you think

00:10 conscription should retain? I think conscription is a difficult subject. To try and compel somebody

00:19 to go and fight is wrong. I think there needs to be a better investment in the armed forces.

00:27 There are a lot of people out there who have no direction and if they had some direction

00:32 they would perhaps be in a position to fight for the country. There's a lot of people out

00:40 there with a lot of aggression. That needs to be channelled. It needs to be taken and directed

00:47 in a way that will benefit society. Conscription is not in this day and age, in the 21st century,

00:56 the way forward is my view. Conscription has been ruled out by Downing Street after

01:03 warnings were issued about a potential war between Russia and the UK. Do you think conscription

01:09 should return? Not for me, personally. My family have got a military background and I think you've

01:19 got to be a special person to join that. You've got to have the right mentality. I don't think

01:24 people being made to do something they don't want to do will ever work. I wouldn't apply that to

01:29 conscription. I think everything in general.
