Robin Hood tax

A tiny tax on bankers that would give billions to tackle poverty and climate change, here and abroad.

It sounds complicated, but actually it isn’t. A tiny tax on bankers has the power to raise hundreds of billions every year – giving a vital boost to the NHS, our schools, and the fight against child poverty – as well as tackling poverty and climate change around the world.

Not complicated. Just brilliant.

I've just signed up as a supporter on the Robin Hood tax website. it is actually much the same as the Tobin tax already supported by the Green Party, but has the advantage of lots of high profile supporters. The video on their site for instance stars Bill Nighy. Their website address is robinhoodtax.org.uk
