Campaigns against cuts
There are a number of campaign groups set up to oppose the Coalition cuts. They include:
- http://falseeconomy.org.uk/ False Economy is for everyone concerned about the impact of the
government’s spending cuts on their community, their family or their
job.
- http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/ We start with some simple points of agreement. The brutal cuts to
services about to be inflicted by the current Government are
unnecessary, unfair and ideologically motivated. The coalition are
particularly fond of two obscene catchphrases: ‘There is no
alternative’ and ‘We’re all in this together.’ Both slogans are empty
and untrue. The cuts will dismantle the welfare state, send inequality
sky-rocketing and hit the poorest and most vulnerable hardest. A
cabinet of millionaires have decided that libraries, healthcare,
education funding, voluntary services, sports, the environment, the
disabled, the poor and the elderly must pay the price for the
recklessness of the rich.
- http://www.leftfootforward.org/about/ We are a non-aligned blog. Because we are progressive and because of
the aims we’re committed to, we often find ourselves in agreement with
left of centre policies and politicians. But we are focused purely on
the quality of policies and furthering progressive goals, rather than
on promoting individual politicians and parties.
