Disabled activists were asked to lead the protest march against the Tory's proposed benefit cuts, which took place in Birmingham on Sunday. Despite pouring rain, Disabled protesters led a large procession of Trades Unionists and Welfare Rights representatives from all parts of the UK past the conference hall where the ConDems were attempting to justify their reasons for ignoring the real culprits of the economic crisis, the bankers, and why they were attacking the more vulnerable members of our society.
The article starts reporting the involvement of Disabled people from paragraph 21 ...'The protest comprised trade unions demonstrating against the prospect of job losses and cuts to public services, and disabled people rallying against welfare cuts proposed by the coalition, which they say will hit them hardest.The prospect of activists covered in fake blood wearing triangles symbolizing the murder of thousands of disabled people during the Holocaust will be an embarrassment to Cameron, who has repeatedly insisted that the most vulnerable will be protected from the impact of cuts.'Dave Luptonaka Crippen - Disabled cartoonist

ReplyDeletemany of the students are not simply protesting about fees and 'austerity measures' but having serious discussions about changing the game completely.
ReplyDeletethe world is sliding into a form of global fascism, and there is a growing awareness of this. it doesn't matter which party you vote for, they are all following the same agenda. politicians are the 'technocrats' employed directly or indirectly by the financial powers.
this 'new world order' is referred to as the 'scientific dictatorship' ... see Aldous Huxley and Betrand Russel for more info.
pepsi or coke? it's all the same!!!
people of all walks of life are beginning to realise they have been trapped into lives of debt and wage slavery. the world is a common heritage that belongs to all equally, not just the bankers and robber barons.
i have been stuck with the label of disability but in my heart reject it. i tolerate the present situation, but reject the pervasive inequality and injustice in society.
love and peace to all my brothers and sisters,
