Who can access wellfair services?

LIFE will make registered membership of a Community a requirement for access to our wellfair universal services.

After the 2 year setup process, only UK citizens and legal residents will have access to wellfair services (housing, food, transport, education and healthcare). To qualify each person will have be a registered resident or citizen of a Community in the UK.

This will affect everyone. UK citizens and resident will have to register and may need to provide ID to access services, while tourists and other non-residents could be required to pay for any services they need access to.

Wellfair is a promise not an entitlement, and we have the right and the responsibility to limit the services to those that have made the same mutual promise. If someone has not been accepted as a resident or citizen of a Community, they have not established their mutual promise.

MachineBrain got us into this…

As we head into the New Year it’s a good time to reassess the basic thinking we are using to understand our world. This excellent article in the RSA Journal proposes that we have been using a MachineBrain metaphor to understand how our economies work, when in fact it would be much more accurate to use a GardenBrain aproach to understanding the workings of human enterprise.

Certainly it is unlikely that we will get ourselves out of the mess we are in, using the same thinking that got us into it. LIFE understands that our economy is a client of our society and that is the principle on which our economic policies are based. You can read more about LIFE’s path to sustainable economics here.

The BBC

The BBC is an institution of British democracy, it is not a “corporation” operating in a competitive marketplace. We must learn to manage it like the institution it is, and stop pretending that it is a commercial enterprise.

As an institution the BBC’s fate lies at the feet of the people that it serves, not at the feet of its competitors in media marketplace. The BBC is not going to suddenly disappear one day and everyone who works there going to lose their jobs, so the management must be motivated by transparent accountability for integrity and performance.

Marriage

Our laws exist for the benefit of people, all of us.

The word “marriage” has been used for centuries to convey the binding of two people together to create a single household unit, and our laws convey certain rights to any two people who enter into such a commitment.

LIFE stands by the rights of any two, not closely blood related, humans do enter into such an arrangement and to have their arrangement recognized by law as “marriage”.

After UK LIFE wins the 2015 election, a new constitution will disestablish the Church of England and then people won’t get so confused between law and religion.
