Support The Robin Hood Tax on the Banks

An urgent request from the Economics Group - Ask David Cameron to choose the people, not the banks.

Millions of people around the world are standing up to say the financial system is broken, that it needs reform. This is the first step. A Robin Hood Tax would be the most popular tax in history. This tax would charge the big banks a tiny percentage of each speculative transaction they make, millions of them every day, which could be used to help the developing world or the poorest people at home. It would raise billions of pounds annually.

David Cameron will be attending a G20 summit at Cannes this week, he must act for those hit hardest by the financial crisis. Act to protect essential public services in the UK, to tackle poverty at home and overseas, and to address climate change.

So please, tell David Cameron to help make history at the G20. Tell him to ignore the banking lobby and take a stand that will be admired worldwide.

Tell him to vote for Robin Hood
