How bad is the Tory National Service plan? So bad, it’s being mocked in Australia

Poke Staff. Updated June 9th, 2024

Rishi Sunak‘s hastily invented National Service plan, which has had a massive thumbs down from armed forces chiefs, young people and *checks notes* his own party is such a ridiculous plan that it’s received the accolade of being turned into a comedy sketch by Austrlian comedian Jimmy Rees.

At least it’s useful for something, then.

“You’re only 17, you twat. Make it now or I’m voting for Rishi.”

That’s certainly how elder siblings roll. TikTok joined in.

I can’t do national service, I have a letter from my mum.

Jimmy shared the sketch on Twitter/X, where it got another thumbs up.

The jury remains out on one point.

You can also find Jimmy on YouTube, if TikTok and Twitter/X aren’t your thing.
