A new campaigning website “False Economy” has been launched today, with this brilliant video:

The site, put together by Clifford Singer (the man behind MyDavidCameron and Other TaxPayers’ Alliance), has the following aims:

– gathering information about the cuts — both nationally and locally;

– giving people the opportunity to provide testimony on the effects of cuts on them or their community;

– providing the arguments and evidence that show that the coalition are wrong when they say there is no alternative;

– giving campaign groups the opportunity to post details of their events and to link up and share tips on effective campaigning;

– allowing people to sign up to support the site, participate in online action and find out about campaign events.

The site promises to be an important tool in the fight against the cuts, and the devastating impast they will have on so many communities. What is especially heartening though is that the site is so interactive, allowing you to explain how the cuts are hitting your area.

The fightback against the coalition will be a long and hard struggle that could take five years or more. It’s fantastic to see that through “False Economy“, we have another weapon in our amoury.
