There's a reason I point people to that link and https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/what-youll-get for the poors in general.
If you, Brit or fellow non-Brit stuck here sans a more accessible better option,
lost your job, then
what would the government deign you capable of living on?Could you live on that?
What would you have to give up?Who would you have to stop meeting?
How long could you live like that?What else would you do with your time?
How will you pay for that?How will you explain to the job centre staff why you chose to do that instead of Finding A Job, You Scrounger?
