I am not. It was one of those things called a joke. Or irony, at least. According to Jim, i'm the only one who does not recognise irony. I would recommend a magnet. This is quite good at detecting irony whilst rejecting aluminiumy, coppery, zincy, stainless steely etc

The body considers it a mistake to scrap it but it clearly hasn't considered the financial constraints the Welsh government is operating under, and other difficult decisions it has taken. It's often best to disregard the opinions of people who talk in ideal worlds. Regardless of the letters behind their names. £1,600 a month? I've worked for most of my life, my monthly income doesn't come close to this. In some ways I wish it did but it was my choice not to completely surrender my life to the task of making money so overall, no regrets.

1,600 a month - I'm all for it...
I can't wait to reach retirement, a 50 to 60% increase in my income will be much appreciated - not sure I'll get there though - on an NHS waiting list as needing an urgent assessment, whenever I phone up to see how long it might be and to check my name hasn't conveniently fallen off the list, I get told 'give us a call in 2 to 3 weeks time, I'm not able to tell you how long the wait is'.
If I was getting 1600 a month I'd go private...

I had to wait more than 18 months to see an ENT consultant and neurologist regarding my chronic daily headache. Not urgent like yours but a bit of a bind as the drugs I'm prescribed are crude and have undesired side effects. I could have afforded to go private but chose not to. My doing this would have delayed things further, generally.

When I went to see a couple of spacialists about the gammy leg which is permanently fucked in an irresolvable way it was via NHS but they put me in a private horrospital anyway.
It was funny when the nerve test geyser said on the phone 'I am afraid there is a very long waiting list (inner London)... Are you able to come in the evening... 7pm tomorrow alright?'. 36 hours not 36 weeks.
A little amusing in a number of different ways.

Everyone would have to take a hit on 'quality of life' which means vested interests with authority and influence would probably prevent it from happening in reality. The welfare state is basically a private security setup for the wealthy. Take money from the workers to pay to the feckless so the feckless don't come and break your doors down. All dressed up as being a caring society. A UBI would destroy the layers and cause significant issues for the wealthy. So it won't happen. Quality of life isn't dependant on lots of money No, but it buys a better class of misery.

This is quite good at detecting irony whilst rejecting aluminiumy, coppery, zincy, stainless steely etc A recent government-funded study into the effects of advancing dementia has confirmed that jokes totally devoid of humour have an unusual effect on the afflicted mind. 'Dad Joke Syndrome', or DJS, is particularly common in subjects of 70 years or more. There is currently no effective treatment following the decision to withdraw electro-shock therapy administered to the testicles.

Ive never spent time researching UBI, who exactly subsidises it and why? It seems to be mainly the lazy / feckless tossers who scream for it the most🤷🏻♂️, as Ive said, Ive never researched into it.
So just how is it paid for & what advantages are there?

Have you any idea as to what £1600 per month times all the eligible people equates to?
