What I meant is that this basic income of £490 that they're giving is more or less the same as what I currently claim in total. And yes, you're right, if they had a similar system here, then it would greatly increase the chances of me getting some work, perhaps in a pub.

Of course it's an extra incentive. Just because the vast majority of jobs out there are shit and not jobs I intend to take on, doesn't mean I'll never work again so long as I have benefits.
