Stupid Sanctions vs Basic Income 23: Late again

There is a website called A Selection of Especially Stupid Benefit Sanctions filled with stories of ways in which our broken benefits system hurts people. I thought it would be good to compare what would have happened with welfare replaced by Basic Income Guarantee.

Of course its not terribly exciting because basic income doesn't judge people or make mistakes.

Our Current Welfare System	What if we had basic income?
You are on a workfare placement and your job centre appointment comes round. The job centre tells you to sign on then go to your placement – which you do. The placement reports you for being late and you get sanctioned for 3 months.	You go to work for a company that is offering a proper secure job because workfare doesn't exist and you don't need to sign on because you automatically receive your basic income.
