A few people have asked why Scots are protesting when Scotland has the Adult Disability Payment and not PIP. Here are some of the reasons.

#WelfareNotWarfare

Protesting from bed today in a national day of action against disability benefit cuts by UK government.

The money could be raised by taxing the superrich - they will barely notice it has gone whereas reducing welfare benefits will hurt people needlessly.

#CutsKill

At Downing Street to protest the #DisabilityBenefits cuts.

What’s being proposed will shatter lives. It will cause preventable anguish, despair, and death. And it targets those already fighting to stay afloat.

I’m here as silence is not an option. Solidarity always. #WelfareNotWarfare

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.
