They would not be a nice place to be in either.

Where would you get the money from? We've already got an oversupply of
labour - how would yours be any better? Would you undercut normal
working people to get your work?

They would sort waste for recycling. That sort of thing.
They wouldn't get much but so long as it covered their keep who cares?
I expect there's people here could think of other similar work.

That's answered none of my questions.

How are you going to do this work without putting other people out of
work yet still being paid?

They would do work that was not economically viable elsewhere.
Work that needs doing but doesn't get done.
There are canals to clear out. *Litter to pickup. Graffiti to remove.
Waste to recycle. Chewing gum to remove from pavements.

So where does the money come from?- Hide quoted text -

Recycled materials.
