Well TBF most proposed UBI systems just provides enough just to buy food, clothes and basic utilities there will always be a need to find some form of Paid employment imo
But yeah I agree if you are in full time work you shouldn't need the benefit system but we do due to stagnant wages and...
Win Win for big businesses who don't have to pay people competitive wages when they can flog it to Prisoners for NMW
That makes the Labour situation worse in the long run imo.
God Forbid you offer anything other than NMW with no benefits. No wonder why the locals aren't flocking to these jobs lol.
NMW Hauliers for example will ruin it for non-prisoner haulage drivers who were on £10-£20ph.
Or makes things worse? The various industries that want to use this will then have no real incentive to offer competitive wages for those jobs as they can get prisoners to do it cheaply.
On vastly reduced wages I am all in support of prisoner reintroduction schemes but it should not be used to plug labour shortages all that does is make things worse.

Instead of offering good working conditions just use Prisoners instead.
That sounds like that haulier owner is stubborn, good on the drivers imo, they like working for the guy but want better pay to match other companies.
At least they asked and didn't just leave.
or localising supply chains, Made in Britain or at least made in Europe is better then made in china, assembled in the US and sent to Germany then transported to the UK.
There will be another population boom and then the population will stabilise around 2100, the best way to combat overpopulation is to develop the third world, it'll increase population initially but will lead to the Birthrate being below replacement levels.
Hardline Brexiteers hate the BBC, Hardline Remainers hate the BBC, both accusing it of supporting the other side.
I blame Social Media more then the BBC.
