Good news, at last something is stirring nationally in relation to the very
nasty and draconian Welfare Reform Bill: a new national coalition has been
created: its a very important step, but imo, it will be interesting to see
what support it gets from the left, liberals and the activist scene, etc,
The 'Coalition Against The Welfare Reform Bill' is a new national
organisation comprising of many many different user led disability groups
has been launched to challenge the coming Welfare Reform Bill: a bill that
will see disabled people lose benefits, housing benefit abolished, disabled
people pushed into unsuitable work, and possibly forced to undertake certain
medical treatments. It includes the British Council of Disabled People
(BCODP) which represents some 80 groups run by disabled people in the UK
which between them have a total membership of around 350,000 disabled
people, UK Coalition of People living with HIV and AIDs, National Union of
Journalists (Disabled Council Members), Spinal Injury Association, Disabled
Peoples Action Network, People First, Trade Union Disabled Peoples
