Democracy in action? We are being told we are not allowed to film the #PIPcuts protest which is currently going on in Central Lobby


BBC told to stop filming disability protest in the Commons

Broadcasters are normally allowed to film in parliament’s central lobby but the BBC’s Norman Smith was told to stop when the disability campaigners started their protests because the Commons authorities do not allow events like this to be filmed.

(One of the reasons for this it is felt that, if protests like this do get filmed, that only encourages campaigners to stage stunts of this kind.)

No, ministers trying to legislate to effectively further marginalise people encourages campaigners :/

So, they are demonstrating ŕgainst something that has already been thrown out.
The PIP cuts are dead in the water"..methinks a rethink is on the cards.
