Aping Netflix's plans of a real-life Squid Game reality TV show the government have announced the second of two payments to help the poorest households with the cost of living will be giving out only after those eligible overcome a set of games similar to those seen in the popular Netflix show Squid Game.
As the first of these two cost of living payments is to hit people's bank accounts in July, the government hope this initiative will counter any accusations that they could be seen to be soft on those people less well off.
Consideration will be giving to those contestants who have already navigated the Universal Credit online portal stage or been affected adversely by Brexit. However, a spokesperson for the government deny that the unusually cruel situation with the grounded Rwanda flight has seen the competition begin early.
