  1. The Government are not trialing UBI! The trial is being run by think tank Autonomy. Researchers will work with the recipients to understand how the money affects their lives. The pilot will also recruit a control group who will not get UBI, so researchers can compare the experience of people receiving a basic income with those not getting one. Autonomy estimates the basic income payments will come to £1.15million over two years, while there would be further costs of about £500,000 for other elements such as evaluation and research. The proposal is being supported by charity Big Local and Northumbria University and it follows two years worth of consultations. A similar scheme is already being trialled in Wales for hundreds of young people who have just turned 18 and have been brought up in care. Other countries including Iran, India, Canada and parts of the United States have also tested out similar trials.

  2. Was the "K" a mistype? Perhaps you meant cm!
  3. Just give the dosh to the Chinese instead!
  4. Typical political BS! "Just insert any country/economic zone/political party where it says "Thailand" Two economists from the World Bank, Ndiame Diop and Hassan Zaman, have stressed the critical need for political stability, urgent reforms and the development of high-value-added sectors in ........................, (insert as required!) to ensure sustainable long-term growth."
  5. I think it is called an "oxymoron"! (in more ways than one I might suggest!)
  6. The "back pocket" is a dream for many other than "pick pockets)!
  7. The way the woke brigade are going it probably will be, but renamed with about 16 meaningless letters and pronouns. I'll stick with my pockets!
  8. And my life, trousers and dignity (if I had any)! At my age and the way I dress no self-respecting tramp would see any point in trying to rob me! I have lived this long and never been attacked/slashed/robbed or lost my wallet or keys. I suggest you get a life and start to enjoy it rather than worry about the unlikely!
  9. Not on a chain inside a zipped/buttoned pocket!
  10. Watching this particular "crypto" boat sink after all the warnings will not be hard to handle!
  11. Anything to do with so called "crypto currencies"!
  12. I like looking like an animal!
  13. Do you mean to say that "Don't Mention Trump" is released into MEGA believers on death or only to non MEGA believers?
  14. ChatGPT, you mean you have been chatting with God's Personal Translator?
  15. Without the need of a so called "man bag"! I call them "pockets"!
  16. Read my earlier to reply to you where I stated I was not replying to you!
  17. Correct! And why would I watch some video to explain something I do not care about? If you feel the need to introduce yet more woke words into a forum at least have the decency to use words, not videos/tik tok YouTube etc! What was wrong with just having understandable descriptions of everyone such as male/female/lesbian/gay and "not sure/the rest"?
  18. You mean they have better working connections where you are going to than we get down here!
  19. And there was me thinking that it was you who was already AI generated!
  20. OMG! Not another new letter/definition to add the overblown LGBT;etc What else does it mean that is not already covered by the well know and understood word "Gay"? Why do "people" need so many different ways to describe themselves? PS; (is the term "themselves" still acceptable?)
  21. Yes I have a few! They are called, amongst many things, my wallet which I keep in one back pocket and sundries that I keep in my other pockets etc in various items of apparel !
  22. I assume the address to send this funding is into a Nigerian bank account! PS; I am referring to the "Earthly" Nigeria!
  23. I was replying initially to @ozimoron regarding some historical debt! You jumped in and deflected to Obama. I posted two links, which cover the debt in different ways. You cannot possibly have read the links in sufficient detail in less than two hours to stop and appraise yourself of the factual information I have provided about ALL the historical USA debt information and make a reasoned response!
  24. I suggest you actually read and digest links before making an idiot of yourself; Please look at the following:
