#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.
