I personally have great faith in people. I think that if someone had a regular income to pay for their basic needs there is no way they would just sit around drinking beer and smoking weed all day. Most people are driven to better themselves. I do hate the haters who wrongly think that living on any benefit is living a life of luxury. I challenge all of thenm to try and successfuly live a full and productive life on £70 a week. Impossible. Even people on benefits contribute to society. Every penny of the meagre benefits they get and spend on survival still goes towards some business profit margin. All benefits here on Airstrip One work on a sliding scale so those 18 year olds do not get the same amount as the disabled person because the disabled person gets twice as much to live on as well as other benefits to support them. In 2023-24, the government is expected to spend £265.5bn on paying pensions and benefits. just over half of which (£134.8bn) goes on benefits to pensioners. All pensioners that is, even those living in £2,000,000 properties and recieving huge personal pensions. yes they still get the state pension too. I personally think the state pension should be stripped from those pensioners. The Standard allowance You’ll get one standard allowance for your household every month. If you’re single and under 25--------£311.68 If you’re single and 25 or over------£393.45 If you live with your partner and you’re both under 25-----£489.23 (for you both) If you live with your partner and either of you are 25 or over-----£617.60 (for you both) If you are under 25 and live with your parents, money will be deducted from your benefits to pay a share of your parents rent. People are currently not allowed to work while claiming benefits which inevitably leaves them in the benefit trap from which there is no escape. This is where UBI would work for all people, everyone would be allowed to work and receive UBI. A win win for the people and for society as far as I am concerned.
