Glasgow based activist John Rogers says Universal Basic Income is the alternative to the damaging Universal Credit system that we need.

If we are going to plan changes to how we live together, we need to come up with a lot of ideas about how to make that work. Here is one – Universal Basic Income (UBI).

UBI is a way of ensuring financial security through regular weekly or monthly payments. Everyone is paid whether working or not, thereby ensuring there is real social security for us all. It avoids all the bureaucracy and huge cost involved in the current social security system, as well as removing the stigma associated with means tested unemployment and welfare benefits.
