There is very little evidence to suggest that UBI actually leads to the average person working less. Unless you count the snobby 'poor people are poor because they are lazy' trope as evidence.
Your points are well positioned but in my view don't help young people , it just provides a vacuum and excuse not to progress in life .


The wonderful recent plethora of offerings I'm sure are well meant certainty very popular .


The deployment of such a programme of giveaways in my view will simply kill off or reduce employment for 16 - 18 year old ,as employers seek to offer less roles to folk by the doubling up of their wages .


In my view they need better funded education ,not £10 an hour jobs , a wage/job to aim for , better paid and more Apprenticeships, funded centrally direct into businesses who prove they have a genuine up skilling pathway .

I'm sure free tuition fees will soon appear again , free money is the word , and yes a very popular one ,and I'm sure gathers in the new populist politics , who have no other view .

That's me done .
