<p>Under a pilot scheme, 30 people irrespective of their employment status will be selected to receive £1,600 per month for two years. As this is means tested and not tied to any work, researchers will explore what difference it makes to their lives.</p>
<p>Participants will be pulled from central Jarrow in north-east England and East Finchley, in north London. Critics of this ‘money for nothing scheme’ say it would be extremely costly, would cause a cut in regular funding of public services and would not necessarily help to alleviate poverty.</p>
<p>Researchers from think tank Autonomy backing this two-year pilot say it hopes its proposed pilot will “make the case for a national basic income and more comprehensive trials to fully understand the potential of a basic income in the U.K.”.</p>
<p>“No one should ever be facing poverty, having to choose between heating and eating, in one of the wealthiest countries in the world,”said Cleo Goodman, Co-founder of Basic Income Conversation, a programme run by the work-focused think tank.</p>
<p>There was a mixed reactions on social media with a lot of people wondering if this scheme will be potentially paid for by the taxpayers.</p>
