So.... not compulsory then? Or do you just get fined or something? Anyway, earliest policy U-turn of the Conservative campaign so far - will it be their best?

    "Nobody will go to jail for refusing national service. You'll get a fine instead."

    "What happens if you can't or won't pay the fine?"

    "You go to jail."

      Honestly not that likely. As courts can order a garnesment.

      Fines nowadays tend to result in taking from you benifits or wages. Of course costs the poor forced into this more.
