What is the Debt Clock?

To highlight the crushing size of the national debt, the TaxPayers' Alliance is launching a 1,300 mile tour of Britain - featuring a 7 metre long, lorry-mounted digital Debt clock, ticking up as the Government borrows more and more money. The campaign has a simple but direct message for the nation's politicians:

"Wake up to the National Debt!"

Crucially, the Debt Clock will tour around the whole country, stopping off at national landmarks and key cities to raise awareness of the national debt amongst the taxpayers who will one day have to pick up the bill for politicians' reckless borrowing.

Our custom-built clock is one metre high by seven metres long, and mounted on the back of a 14m lorry. Its 80cm (32 inch), 14-digit red LED display will count up the nation's debt at a breakneck speed:

* £5,169 per second

* £310,212 per minute

* £18,607,306 per hour

* £446,575,342 per day
