'Bedroom Tax' Protests in UK - Saturday March 30,2013

Thousands of people around the country have protested on Saturday March 30,2013 against the so-called "Bedroom Tax", which will cut the benefit of social housing tenants with a spare room.

The tax is expected to affect around 660,000 households when it comes into effect next month, with an average loss of £14-a-week

Campaigners, who have gathered in more than 50 towns, said the move targets the most vulnerable in society

Protesters on the demonstrations, who were heard chanting "axe, axe the bedroom tax", were joined by Labour, SNP and MSP politicians, as well as trade unions and Occupy London
