i've brought this news to the attention of my son and suggested he find somewhere to emigrate to which won't get involved if there is a big war..

This. Please Labour don't promise to stick to Govt spending plans or not to raise taxes, not realistic.

This national service thing...the general bloke is only saying this to get publicity for the need as he sees it for more military spending. Whether we like it or not the world is looking less stable these days, significant wars bubbling up everywhere, a new military superpower in China and Putin wanting to be Vlad The Great, and the possibility of Trump getting in and US cutting NATO funding or support or even pulls out altogether (unlikely but you never know), but even without Trump it is fair enough that europe is not always reliant on US.

Rather proves that polls are nonsense at the moment.

not nonsense, just showing different results depending on methodology etc but no poll is ever going to be 100% accurate...it's overall poll trackers you want to look at, i.e.

or this from Britain Elects and New Statesman which gets updated daily from different polling...
