#DisabledPeopleAgainstCuts #Exeter protest against cuts to disability benefit and personal independence payments today.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the crowd's reaction. I've been to a fair number of protests which are usually met with indifference or hostility by passersby, here people seemed to be nodding or even stopping to agree. I don't think benefit cuts are as popular with the electorate as Labour seem to think they are.

"On Monday, March 4th, Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) returned to the streets...The protest, which was called two days before the budget, began at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) with speeches and then moved a few yards to Victoria Street, which was then blocked with wheelchairs, strollers and activists with banners for around an hour." freedomnews.org.uk/2024/03/05/ #DisabledPeopleAgainstCuts #DPAC
