With the cry from those disabled asking `Where do we go from here` is this just media hype or the start of serious disintegration of a campaign?
Disability Activism is in Crisis: We Need Support from Somewhere, but who do We Turn To?
For many disabled people, whether they actively campaign against the cuts and things like the welfare reform bill or whether they watch with a sense of fear and trepidation, the question that permeates our movement is 'what next'?
We have had the Hardest Hit campaign, for all the good it did, and we all badgered a load of Lords and Baronesses on the day of the first vote on the Welfare Reform Bill which achieved some watering down of its contents.
But in the grand scheme of things, it seems to me, we haven't advanced as a movement. We have battened down the hatches and we have weathered the storm of cuts, verbal attacks of right wing newspaper columnists moaning about the Mobility scheme and rather sick individuals challenging wheelchair users to prove they have a physical impairment - in far more uncivilised language I'm sure.
