Austerity cuts in the community should be reversed in important sectors such as the arts, youth clubs and sports
Pay-to-use ATM machines should be scrapped
Supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and other businesses must donate unused food to food banks
Comments
  • We would support the UK Government rolling out a UBI.
  • UBI is not a proven solution to low pay or poverty and further research as to its benefits and implications would be welcomed. If it proves effective I woud certainly support it. While donating unused food to food banks is laudible it also risks embedding the foodbank culture into our society
