One of the many lies Gove/Johnson 's Vote Leave used to scare the gullible into their nets in the 2016 referendum on EU membership was a completely fabricated threat of conscription.
The 18 year olds that the Tories now want to force into service were ten years of age then.
They are old enough to vote now. Why does it fall to them to unpick the stupidities of their grandparents?
