I think we used to have stuff about being armed, mandatory archery practice etc.
But we moved with the times.
BTW Trufax*
One of the main drives behind the creation of the NHS was all the soldiers coming back after WW2 with a lot of them needing long term care.
The fact that the UK now had a large part of the working class UK population that was now hurting, angry and importantly still had their weapons including a lot of looted nazi guns may have lead to it's creation.
*may not be totally true but was told to me** by old time socialists.

Yes just imagine if the fletchers and bowmakers had thought of bribing the government we might still all be packing longbows and having 2 hours of enforced archery practice every week.
We could all go Welsh hunting in Chester also, everyone trying to find a Welshman in the town of Chester after midnight.
