How about a 'citizen's income' instead of benefits?
We should look again at our welfare system and consider the idea of a citizen's or basic income - a minimum survival payment granted to everyone - in place of means-tested benefits
- A citizen's income effectively says that all of us are worthwhile as humans, not just those who can earn a middle-class income and up.
I have a feeling that eventually this will come to pass. I was just thinking that it would also probably result in an upsurge in arts participation, because it would constitute basic support for artists!
