Basic minimum income is a BRILLIANT idea. Small problem: it doesn't work as planned

Re: Hmm

People are paid to do nothing now! In fact on JSA you can only do nothing (nothing paid anyway).

As an unemployed person myself, I'd love to do something useful. I can't even take part in a food trial paying me £12 for a few hours work because it'll come out of my benefit. I'd like to do some voluntary work in a wildlife rescue centre, but I can't afford to pay the travel costs to get there.

It's obvious that the people against the Universal Benefit have never been out of work (lucky them).
