Just no.

Anyone unwilling to work go on a scheme to do minor tasks for the local community. Bring back the workhouse and soup kitchens in order to reduce the amount spent on benefits.

I do agree with this. But I've no idea what a workhouse is, or how effective soup kitchens are.

Reintroduce compulsory National Service but this time no exceptions at all. At 18 everyone has to report to an induction centre, this would allow even the poor to take a couple of years out and travel to exotic lands.

Would object to this if I qualified for the age, but I don't, so meh.

A free higher education system could be worked into this system with the workshy getting a couple of weeks training for some menial jobs and the more intelligent graded as to their ability.

I like.

Renationalise power, water communication and other utilities include the banking industry and pay a fair wage with minimal if any bonuses.

Goodness no. That'd just even out the other suggestions you made - not to mention eliminate jobs + market economy. I'm quite divided on water, but power...no.
