False Economy, a TUC-backed anti-cuts website, marked its formal launch today by unveiling figures showing the scale of government job cuts in the National Health Service. The new site allows people to upload details of local cuts, provide testimony on how the cuts will affect them and promote local groups and activities.

The site, which has now completed a test run, is also playing an instrumental role in mobilising for the TUC's March for the Alternative on March 26 - with an area devoted to transport-sharing arrangements (this information is being continuously updated) - just click on the map to see where coaches are available.

A video, narrated by actor Samuel West, makes the case that the cuts are bearing down on those who did least to cause the crash, and that there is an alternative to the cuts that relies on economic growth and a fair tax system to close the deficit.

False Economy brings together the new generation of social media campaigners with the traditional campaigners in unions. The site's director is Clifford Singer who ran the MyDavidCameron spoof poster site during the election campaign, and its management committee brings together a wide cross-section of online campaigners with the TUC and other union representatives.

False Economy campaign director Clifford Singer said: "We now list more than 100 local cuts campaigns in our directory, and it's fascinating how many are using social networks like Facebook to communicate.

"Some even formed through Facebook. But the point is they aren't just talking to each other on the web, but using it to organise campaigns on their local high streets."

He cited the example of UK Uncut, the nationwide campaign against tax avoidance and the greed of the banks.

TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said: "The campaign against the government's deep, rapid cuts is really taking off all round the country.

"False Economy combines the strengths of union traditions with the creativity of the new generation of campaigners more used to Twitter than branch meetings.

"It's rapidly become a home both for those taking their first steps in protesting about their local library closing and also for long-established opponents of the cuts."

So visit the site today to keep up to date with anti-cuts events and  campaigns and share the opinions and experiences of those in the firing line. The site today reveals where 50,000 jobs in the NHS are being axed, despite government pledges to the contrary.
