"A temporary sign was placed by the side of a road, the kind which usually warn of road works. However it had a silhouette of a dingy with figures rowing and a message reading "no illegal immigrants for 1 mile". The police are treating it as "race hate".

"Let's be clear. It was spotted in Co. Tyrone in Northern Ireland so quoting from the Garda website is not in keeping with the jurisdiction in which it was found. You should consult the Police Service of NI website " It's exactly the same on the Police Service of NI website, too. | |||

"It's not foreign that's the problem, it's refusal to work and sitting doing nowt that's the problem, beit Brits or migrants " Accept that some folk do not want to work. For many reasons. Too many to list here. This is where UBI (Universal Basic Income) would provide for their existence. It will be a no-frills kind of existence, covering basic food, shelter, heating. Some people are quite happy with that existence. After all, it's what we all had at one time, right ? Frugality and simplicity appeals to many. Many make it work (no pun intended) for them. They get by. Who pays for them ? I do, and I don't mind that at all. I kind of figure it's in my best interests to support others who without a shelter or even basic food, might be roaming the streets causing all manner of mischief. . UBI would address basic needs. Then, those that are so inclined can take other paid work on top of that if they so wish. As suits their needs, desires and their situation. . No one is "forced" to work. If they don't, they receive a guaranteed basic income. That person who has removed themselves from the "worker pool" has left an opening for someone else. . Anyway, this is academic. Once I get my army of AI bots up and running, they'll be sent out to work for me. Because that will come, eventually. Then the massive shift in society will need something to happen. (I actually envisage certain people "hiring out" their own purchased AI bots, to do their work for them.) | |||

(I actually envisage certain people "hiring out" their own purchased AI bots, to do their work for them.) " I personally believe UBI is better than government running social services. Replacing NHS, public schooling with UBI is probably better. But the moment you say all basic needs like food, shelter and heating are covered, you create a situation where most people can get away with not working. The whole economy runs on the hope that there will be enough people willing to work, to produce the food, heating and shelter you are taking about. I don't think that's a reasonable hope. Maybe in a world where the AI bots can take over basic jobs, it's possible. But we are far away from it. | |||

I wonder what the inhabitants of the camps in Calais are receiving in benefits from the French government? Perhaps it should be matched by the UK government and maybe that would put an end to the incentive to cross the channel? | |||

"I can see Innovation dying under this approach. You say you don’t mind paying to put a roof over a persons head or feeding them, where does that stop, you doing all the work and someone else reaping the benefits doesn’t sit at well in my mind. " I'm not sure how you can see innovation dying due to UBI. Because correlating the size of a worker pool with the number of innovators isn't a meaningful metric. Innovation is also not only the domain of the "employed" innovator either. Many have been unemployed, or between jobs. I would postulate the opposite in fact. With a sizable amount of people on UBI, and thus relieved of the pressure of work, more time would be available for those who perhaps want to innovate a new idea, and UBI provides a safety net for them to do so. . I'm reaping the benefits by paying for them not to work. . 1. If they are law-abiding and content with their situation, there is a crime disincentivization. That benefits me. 2. If they are not working, they are not competing against me in my chosen field. That benefits me. 3. If they are not part of the worker pool, this leaves fewer workers available for hire. That benefits me, as I can charge more for my services (supply/demand) and negotiate better terms of employment. 4. Some might choose to supplement their UBI with additional work that might benefit charities I care about, or civic duties in the local area which improve living standards as a whole. That benefits me too. 5. Some, sitting at home with a lot of time on their hands, may have amazing ideas and go on to invent a new "wotsit". That might benefit me too. | |||
