I disagree with both points Michael Montgomery made in his
letter. National service does little for
social cohesion and even less for our defence.
The Falklands War clearly proved that a force of professionals can
thoroughly outfight a largely conscripted one.
His rejection of punk and street art is frankly short sighted. A great man once described punk rock as "freedom"
in music form. Street art has done
wonders to put my home city of Bristol on the map and has inspired many. Before judging it, perhaps Michael should see
it when he comes to Bristol. Then he can
decide if street art should stay, or if it should go.
