Hmmm …
I have to admit, I’m …
Well, thinking all sorts of things.
I notice — for example — that Jeremy Corbyn’s announced that — should Labour get into government — they will scrap the Universal Credit benefit I’m on.
I’m thinking I couldn’t vote for them, giving that.
Partly? Because they haven’t said what they’ll replace it with.
And partly because the change from Universal Credit to its replacement will come with the same sort of delays that happened with the change from Job Seeker’s Allowance to Universal Credit.
And from the old Unemployment Benefit to Jobseekers Allowance.
All of which saw delayed payments: at least to me.
And, I’m assuming, to others.
I’m ALSO very aware the Greens are planning what they call a Universal Basic Income of some £89 a week.
One that seemingly doesn’t include housing costs.
As someone planning to vote Green in this election … ?
That’s a concern … and also why I contacted the local Green candidate.
I’ll hear back from them, another time: but I’m …
Well …
Concerned …

At any rate … ?
It’s a Thursday …
A Thursday where, frankly?
I felt I could go another episode of the fourth season of The Man in the High Castle.
I’m on the second episode …
