I mean I'll happily have a debate about the merits of UBI in a world where we're rushing towards mass unemployment, but that's aside it's a very very small segment of people on welfare who are "playing the system".

It's bullshit rhetoric designed to get people shouting down at the poorest in our society whilst the richest get away with stealing from us all.

UBI changes the game too though as you don't lose if if you are working. Its always there so you don't have to navigate a beurocratic process instead of being able to look for work.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
