As a Gen X I can honestly say that young people do NOT live in 'their own little bubble', they are literally the most diverse and inclusive generation we have ever had. They also have to work harder than any previous generation and for an awful lot less. It's the boomers who absolutely live in their own little comfy bubble with little to no understanding of how others think or feel, or indeed, the challenges they face. Perhaps its time we looked at how the boomers could make an actual contribution to society instead of the current condition wherein they are the beneficiaries of everyone else's hard work. These tories are absolute crackpots and clearly in full troll mode now that they know they will lose at the next general election.

I certainly agree that this suggestion by the Tories is ridiculous and pointless. However I also see that as a Gen X you get a lot of your frustrations out by blaming the baby boomers of which I am one. Please do not tar us all with the same brush. Not all boomers are wealthy and living comfortable lives. I am 70. I have worked as a nurse all my life - at times, when on call, working a 24 hour shift with no sleep and for a fairly low pay at the time. The government changed our pension ages by six years without informing us in time to make provision for our old age. This lost me approx £45,000. I live in a terrace house in Barnsley - when I bought it the mortgage interest rate was around 17% - and due to ill health had to leave work when I finally got my pension. I now volunteer to walk dogs for elderly and people with terminal illnesses so they can keep their pets at home. I help raise money for local theatre which has a very active youth group and I volunteer to help raise funds for our local hospice. I litter pick every week and help with litter bins on our local walking trail. I would not say that I am in my own little comfy bubble. Lets not get angry with other generations - lets get angry with the governments that put us in this position.

Yep, even minimum wage is too costly for them. They basically want the British working class to be serfs, labouring away for free to increase their already obscene profits.

I came of voting age in 2010, I cannot even begin to describe how much damage these tories and those that have voted for them have caused. The UK has changed so much since then. They have utterly gutted it. Ghouls the lot of them.

'Now'?

Get them out, keep them out, consignee then to the history books

These 18 year olds " living in their bubbles " have just come out of school. Why do they then want to have them work for nothing ? By 18 my grandchildren were desperate for jobs and earning money and indeed did .

If you wanted young people to socialise - why close down all the YOUTH CLUBS??? Why close down SURE START centres?? I call BS.

Same here they continue to repeatly turn the stomach, roll on the 4th of July general election and they become a distant memory..................

Wouldn't trust cleverly to plan a route to the subsidised canteen at house of parliament!😂

Lewis Goodall, you are an amazing presenter. Thank you and to LBC for giving you a platform.

The best national service anyone can do is to not vote Tory in the general election.

Lewis has done his homework here, quality questions.

I like how he says its so both rich and poor have to work together and they've since clarified it will be a monetary fine if you don't do it. Wonder who is going to just take the fine.

"Parents to be very keen" which parents are those?

Every time they speak I'm just so shocked how a group of people so inept, and just bad at politics, have reached the most senior political roles in the country. Its astonishing.

Corruption, Nepotism, Greed and overall a complete lack of morality and integrity of the older generation voters who kept them in power.

Having spent 24yrs in the army the last thing we need is people being forced into the role. I would rather be on the battlefield with soldiers who joined out of respect and wanting to do service for our country not those being forced to join.

@SJB First and foremost, thank you for your service, I mean it. I am sure there won’t be conscripts in any sensitive areas, but there is a lot of evidence that clearly shows a number of young people here in this country are hostile to the U.K. and what it represents……

A Tory minister complaining that people live in their own bubble. Amazing lack of self-insight.

bringing people together by forcing them into boot camp. Brilliant.

Compulsory community or military service. The way they're speaking today, you would think every 18 year old in the country is a youth offender

I honestly think some of these old Conservatives actually think this. They think if young people aren’t playing games on an XBox or on social media the rest of their time is spent listening to rap or drill music followed by committing crimes and being a menace to society!

They should be forced to take mandatory ethics classes, for one.

Read between the lines: this is James Cleverly's first pitch for the leadership of what's left of the Tory Party after their defeat.

My son is coming uo to 18, he is at college 4 days a week and works at least 2 days possibly 3 if he can get an extra shift. What this will do is essentially force him to work for free. I get the idea of national service, but I think they are going about it the wrong way. For me it would be better to target those who are not in education or working and force them to either volunteer or into a job or a trade.

The Tories have divided the country, now they pretend they want to unite it.

Not just the tories .....its all parties that call themselves the government

"Fragmentation" means rejecting Tory BS, he is fooling no one.

The Irony that most 18 yr olds for the past 2 decades literally already do charity work for the country as most are either: doing unpaid work, working for less than could sustain their basic needs or the lucky ones are swimming in student Debt.

I haven't listened to Lewis Goodall before - which appears to be a gross oversight on my part. Hearing the HS questioned about the tory National Service Policy my first impressions are that Lewis is a very astute interviewer, well armed with relevant facts at his fingertips. His tone is polite and respectful whilst being able to strike right to the heart of the subject to expose and challenge flaws, weaknesses and absurdity of the policy. You can see the HS start to flounder when faced with the logical challenges resulting in him resorting to a personal attack - a sure sign of defeat. It's such a valuable public service when media can effectively call the government and politicians to account. It's something that doesn't happen often enough elsewhere. Well done Lewis and LBC.
