  • I like the idea of the tax but this advert is retarded. It shows people robbing a banker, even if it was a small amount. Theft against anyone should not be used as a marketing tool, especially for this tax as it is meant to be in the spirit of charity. It should show the banker voluntarily coming round, like Bill Nighy's ad.

  • wow way to encourage gang violence. good job, cuz i hope you weren't thinking people would think enough to get what this clearly proposes.

  • I don't live in the uk, but I think this is a great thing there doing

  • i seriously hate noel clarke and his desire to be seen as an intimidating thug with a secret heart of gold....

  • Nothing gets my heart pumping faster than when good people get to strike fear into the wicked

  • This is a nice idea but it doesnt solve the problem. The problem is that banks create our money! At interest! The answer is so unbelievable, you probably wont believe it! Henry Ford put it like this:- "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." Watch " Where does money come from ". search you tube, or you can find a copy on my channel

  • LAWL of course have the black guy jack his stuff...

  • @chinesehelicopters Well that was so unhelpful and contributed nothing but ignorance to the conversation.

  • ha haaaa. never seen such drivel in my life. you think this will solve our problems??? this is, just another distraction technique, let us all believe that this tax will change things, for the the truth is that we are the 99% and they are but cowards. to allow yourself to be duped by such blatant propaganda would be cowardly itself. Research, Inspire, Change!!!

  • I hope it goes through, banks need to pay.

  • make it 20% !!

  • maybe the people wearing hoodies should just get jobs??...instead of sucking the system dry!...fair enough for the tax....but this advert is just stupid!...it almost promotes behavior like the London riots...just take what u want?!? steal?!? mind you...whoever came up with the tax obviously has no idea about collateralised debt obligations or finance at all...because this tax on the banks...taxes YOU...not the people who work for the banks!...that's what you people missed in the small print!

  • @VinylProductions AMEN, but you see,this is what you get with generations of socialist indoctrination in schools & universities.

  • forget taxing that banker.. melt down that guys $ bling! He's got all the gold...

  • Ya as acercomputersruleyou says, the central banks can just pay the banks more, and that will counteract the tax...

  • how does this change ANYTHING, its the central banks that are the problem, the inflation tax is what's making us poor!!!!

  • @acercomputersruleyou finally somebody who has their head screwed on unlike those hippies shouting down with capitalism.....when they dont actually have any viable alternative to propose that replaces capitalism!!

  • @VinylProductions haha, good to see I'm not the only one thinking this!

  • "If you don't pay up, banker, my father will hear about this!"

  • It may be ok as a practical solution, but its fundamentally wrong and sends the wrong message that OWS is about socialism, but its not.

  • you know i can agree with this.. but on the other hand. our government doesn't half to give the banks anything. its up to us to stop future bail outs. if a company is reckless then that's there fault, let them go down. letting people/company's get away with things will just encourage them to do whatever they want without consequence. just like a child without punishment

  • I live in the u.s, I think the robin hood tax is great

  • what's the tune?

    

  • ....so..... what? How can they spend half a coin?

  • @ultamatefrogmaster I hope you're just making an attempt at a joke...Obviously the majority of transactions would be made electronically therefore allowing decimal denominations...

  • @denkhur15 umm...........right?

  • @ultamatefrogmaster i think you missed the point.

  • @zZoiks I think I may have done :/

  • They should do this. It is a no-brainer!

    Where do I sign?

  • @gabungan77

    You can sign at the website, just with your name and email.

  • @gabungan77 just out of interest...how much have you looked into this tax?? and how much do you know about finance in particular the derivatives market who inspired the tax in the first place....finance and economics isnt that simple...you cant just decide to go out and do things like this without thinking it through!....that kind of thinking got us into this problem in the first place!! whoever came up with this idea clearly is not in power for a reason!

  • Thats bonkerz!!

  • bad idea, take the fuckin lot off them, they are crooks

  • @freethequeen yeah because that would definatly work. Think before you make retarded comments.

  • Brilliant ad and concept!

  • bankers... theyre so stingy and complete posh cocks. you can tell they were bullied at school

  • "Don't worry, we'll spend it well."

  • Shocking abuse of stereotypes. Bankers are not all evils and we are not all thugs. The truth is that the system needs a change and bankers can help. They might not even be against it as it can help them to regain people's support. You have to embrace change, not act desperate. Especially if you are young. I'm not afraid of the future because I am the future. It's a damaging ad for the Robin Hood campaign.

  • @yopizza Thought the whole point was they were playing with stereotypes! And no-one was being portrayed as a thug, they gave all but what they were owed back, which is more than what the banking bastards who got us into this mess have done!

  • @yopizza Bankers are evil when they take money from governments for bailouts and then award their CEOs big millions in bonuses. I love this idea and I would hope it would spread to the US but not with the fucking tea party asshats and Republican jackasses having their way.

  • @Kewian so you think the democrats can do anything? they are the ones who have sold you to the bankers all along.

  • @Kewian Its Ron Paul who you want to vote for.

  • @TheConnorian I won't vote for any republican. They wanted cuts for the rich to make more jobs.. well they did it but where are the jobs??? LIARS! Now they want everyone BUT the nice upperclass (which includes them) to be taxed. They won't cooperate and throw tantrums when other ideas are mentioned (dems do it as well but they gave in the most) Hell even the wealthy say tax us some more. But no no none of that. Steal from the poor to give to the rich. Reps. sell us out to the lobbyists.

  • @Kewian2 He may be republican but in my opinion he'd do better representing his views by going it alone. The rich will lobby and the greedy politicians will do their bidding. What we need is someone the people can rally behind, someone who will act as a tool of the people rather than use the people as a tool. But then again good luck finding that person, ron paul is the closest you can get and in this day and age, trying really won't hurt as bad as letting the status quo go on.

  • @yopizza And what are the bankers doing to combat economic inequality? If they were not so greedy there would be no need for a robin hood tax.

  • BUT LAND VALUE TAXATION IS A MUCH BETTER WAY! STILL, GOTTA START WITH SOMETHING

  • i seriously thought this was somehow connected to Tom Felton and Imelda Staunton's movie "White Other". lol

  • BEN KINGSLY! of course I have to see it. Good message too!

  • 2:47 or 2:48 shows my baby tom felton !

  • This is such a wus idea it must have been created by the bankers themselves.

  • anyone else feel that this vid delivers a bad message since stealing half a coin is still.. stealing?

  • @redarrowhead2 Pshhh... Not the time or place for thought is it!

  • Will not your debtors arise? Will they not wake up and you will be their victim? Because you have plundered the nations. Habakkuk 2:6-8 (NIV)

    There is a sword against your treasures(gold and silver) there is a sward against your leaders and they will become as women.Jer50:36-38

  • Learn what is money!! Learn why they are so affraid of muslem system, which is against interest!! The banks's and their jew masters love interest why!!? Learn what is money!!?

  • Funny how when i click to vote yes it says "Page not found".... heh...

  • is it like:

    they buy security X for $1,000,000 and they pay 0.0005*1,000,000= $501

    sell it for $1,002,000 and pay 0,0005*$1,002,000 = $501

    that is $1001 tax

    profit before tax - $1,002,000 - $1,000,000 = $2000

    after tax: $999

    tax rate: (1001/2000)*100% = 50.05% !!!

    ?

    if it really works like that, calling it 'nothing' is ridiculous.

  • @AAmadeusz 1) 0.0005*1,000,000=500 not 501

    2) Who invests a million in order to sell after a 0.2% gain? That is ridiculous.

  • @KLengenNeckel

    1) it's just a typo :)

    2) daytraders.

    i just wanted to show that it's extremely misleading, when they talk about it like it was really nothing. that tax is never 0.0005%. moreover you have pay it on each transaction and when you add tax paid while you made losses the number is even higher.

  • @AAmadeusz Why do we need daytraders? Those are the greedy ones in for a quick profit. Apparently they use computer systems to adjust prices of securities to their fair values. I believe they do more harm than good. Their program errors cause price slums or spikes that are definitely not needed. What benefits do they provide to anyone but themselves? That is also the real problem with bankers these days. They forgot they work in the SERVICE sector. Not the PERFORMANCE and BONUS sector.

  • Noel Clarke, Malfoy, Chris from Skins, Neil from The Inbetweeners, Ray Winstone's daughter and Sir Ben Kingsley, all good actors, all in the same advert/film... brilliant :)

  • tom felton <3

  • what are robinhoodtax suggesting, mug people? ;-) this should be a film though love all them actors espesh tom & chris from skins!

  • ah, who cares about all this tax stuff? its ♥TOM FELTON,♥ people!!

  • These are supposed to be good guys? What the hell?

  • @shmeebegek1 - another yank feeling the need to stick their nose into another countries attempt to make the world better - what a surprise"! We have seen your answer mass murder to feed your dying economy - I guess maybe we are sick of it and think there is another way.

  • @WillShakespeare2007 Yeah totally, the answer to the misuse of force is always the more lawless misuse of force. Like stealing people's money in a parking garage. Eye for an eye, baby! Make it two!

  • @thecarplover

    If progressive means treating bankers as above the law, then progressives are a menace to freedom and justice. Putting bankers in jail would be a sign that the legal system wants bankers to respect the law. And yes they will find a way to not pay the tax and dump paying for it on customers.

  • who set this ridiculace 0.05% rate? the public get hammered for 17.5% on EVERYTHING!!!! and whislt they mutter discontent, they pay it! Strikes me as the robinhood tax has been set up by bankers to suit bankers and they hope this disgusting percentage will shut the masses up, they are higher rate earners! let them pay 50%, if they make that much they dont need it! they just want it! i want many things but have to be satisfied with less

  • god, tom felton is so hot even in a sweatsuit. fuuuuuuck.

  • Instead of a tax on the banks we need to do away with fractional reserve/ or make them keep a much higher percentage i.e. 60%

  • You have a right for your life and your liberty- not for anyones services!

  • The voice of one person cannot change the world, but the voice of many can.

    I cant see how charging 0.05% tax to banks to help bring us out of recession is a bad thing ?

    Think of it this way banks deal in billions so 0.05% of 1 billion is 500,000 which to them is nothing but to us everyday people we could support 5 large families comfortably for a whole year and still have money left over to take them all on holiday 4 times.

  • @Cal1skater so we can help 4 families? hardly solving our trillion pound debt problem!...useless waste of time......oh yeah and....if you read about the tax in detail and you understand finance you will see that it will be YOU paying the tax not the bankers!....who's money do you think they trade with!!

  • So many just don't get it! They are so thick that they think they are going to be taxed! The stupid know no bounds, eh? The banks caused this and this is a way to recoup some funds from them that won't unduely hurt them and will save on higher taxes FOR ALL OF US and hopefully save the jobs of ordinary people. Against the RHT? Then you are just a lacky to the fat cats, end of!

  • @MrDumbpublic ... Like I said. keep it away from politicians and do gooders.

    We all need another tax on top of other taxes, like another hole in the head.

    Check out this concept instead. just google debittax.com/

  • You need to be careful not to allow governments to handle this money. No government projects either or it will just go around in a circle back to the money masters via the bullshit climate change legislation, for example.

  • Never going to work.

    The simple reason being that banks rule this planet, and the most us peasants can hope for is they don't decide to trample us on a whim.

    They nearly collapsed the world economy, simply because they stopped loaning money. They then blackmailed everyone for a ever increasing number of trillions; and we couldn't even get any conditions for giving them that money.

    Then they went on holiday, with our money.

    Do we sound like we have any leverage over these people?

  • Global warming is fake . You idiots.

  • Kingsley is a legend ;)

  • Blake Harrison FTW. Noel Clarke FTW. Tom Felton FTW. Joe Dempsie FTW. Jaime Winstone FTW. Ben Kingsley FTW!

  • @MrDumbpublic Are you an idiot?

  • Comment removed

  • Tis a good idea, except for one thing...whose money is it?

  • Comment removed

  • Is 0.05% small or is $700bn big? It can't be both, can it. How many more times than annual banking profits is this, hmm? Where would it come from, ultimately? Banking is a service industry, so charges just get passed on to clients. Who would end up paying for this?

  • @MrDumbpublic

    Shouldn't  you be nicknamed "MrDumb"? 'cause clearly you really are stupid

  • The music sounds like some sort of remix of Kidulthood's opening theme by The Angel.

    Big up Noel Clarke, filmic genius.

  • people in power have one thing on there minds more than anything else, Keeping that power. simple enough idea, if this endevor is allowed to come to fruitian, WE THE PEOPLE could potentialy end all wars and the reason for wars without a single shot being fired. theres too many of us for the elite to control anymore, therefore, this idea cannot fail, the reason being? well i will divulge that to anyone who wishes to respond to this message.......................­..............................­.....

  • main character noel clarke..big up to the actor, loved kidulthood, adulthood, all his films 4,3,2,1 loved them all hope he brings more good films out for the uk pure british films, makes me proud to be british.

  • i cant wait to be a banker!

  • Aww Tom Felton is such ah cutie with a hoodie on .

  • @sweetneIts a trick to push the lie of climate change. It makes it look nice, giving the poor what you take from the rich, but its a scam!

  • @karlos4821 Exactly, take from the robbing bankers and give to the thieving politicians who are taxing everything due to the global warming bull shit. It's called climate change as thats what it is, They just keep pushing more lies to get more money out the sheep who follow. Notice they have gone a little quiet on global warming since all the snow last year. Numbskulls still believe it though. It's hard to believe how stupid most people are. GREAT BRITAIN MY ARSE

  • tom felton looks hot and handsome whenever, wherever! :D wow!

  • We should tax the Rich, the Banks and, the wealthy as they PAY people to do everything they can, just to pay less on tax & they also claim bk tax more than a normal person can as well which isent right... so i say Yes Introduce this and see that LITTLE change makes a BIG diffrence! =D

  • Wish they would do this in Mexico. 

  • I think the main message is "kids in hoodies are not to be trusted." ;) love the video!

  • I think I miss Tom's silver hair... xDD

  • ooooh joe demspie <3

  • This has to be isntated soon, if not, the gap between the rich and the poor will just keep getting bigger and bigger AND BIGGER...

  • Lol

  • @Lrampant

    Yeah right, who's been mugging who?

    Charging 0.05% tax to get a comparatively miniscule compensation for the mess and financial cost the bankers have caused the economies and ordinary HONEST people of the world is mugging?

    The bankers have been the muggers and it's time for payback..!

  • SKINS!

  • I ONLY WATCHED THIS BECAUSE IT HAD TOM FELTON IN IT.

    Jusss sayin. :3

  • @Merindathestar Me too : DD <3

  • @Lrampant How on Earth is this a mugging?

    Is it not fair that the Banks give a little, to a good cause? Baring in mind tax payers had to sacrifice a sum for when the banks were in need, now they can return the favour.

  • @Caminitaa US banks have already repaid their bailouts and the UK government now owns RBS and Lloyds so quite frankly they can do what they want with them but they can't just "steal" a load of money off them because they feel like helping out a good cause. This is not what banks are for!

  • Absolutely in love with this idea. It's time that the rich gave a little bit of their money to people who need it. America needs to get on board.

  • @iluvfootballskating I'm pushing as hard as i can! I'm an American who wants equal footing for all. U guys keep pushing on your end, i'll be pulling on my end. WE WILL MAKE THIS WORK! I promise.

  • well lets say-> No no i'm fucking not

  • Should make this mandatory for every single affluent country.

  • @trillian1964 its not all taxes but it is the misuse and improper function of the state.im tired of this argument as well.1)comparing the most underpaid and important federal employees ie cops and fireman to recipients of redistribution of wealth who do nothing but breathe to earn their ill gotten gains is ludicrous.2)if you look at reason magazine (or was it john stosel?) piece on prvt roads you may change your mind.3)notice how they are selling this thing on the amount.why do they do thatiask

  • no im not with you.theft is theft and it opens the door to more theft. redistribution of wealth is wrong and i fight it wherever i see it.

  • To put it in perspective, for every One Million Pound deal they make, they'd pay £500

  • and... there is not climate change!

  • Anyone who has sympathy for the banks is their asset.

    Anyone who opposes change is a coward and their asset.

    Anyone who doesn't even want to attempt to challenge the banks is, lazy, a coward and their asset

    Anyone who opposes action on climate change is looking for an argument for the sake of it. You sit there and say it's a natural proccess, well, whats the harm in trying to reduce carbon emisions? Search pascals wager on wikipedia and apply it to climate change.

    you anti helping folk are scary

  • They totally own that banker.

  • You don´t need to create any taxes, if the interest system is the same. It doesn´t matter. In this video is the lie of "climat warming" too. I don´t want to share this.

  • brilliant idea, this coupled with scrapping trident would be a huge step in the right direction. trident costs 100 billion dollars and we don't need it, no one can stand against the old one anyway. 

  • @SMART599, It would be fantastic if all the banks and the financial sector will simply leave !!! We won't be that lucky !! They'll find their way. Don't worry!!

  • @miriamrekalde Really? Did you attend college? How did you pay for it? Did you grow up in a home? How did your parents pay for it? Are you insured? Do you keep your money under your mattress? How did you pay for the computer your using or the use of the facilities where the computer sits? What you're saying is ridiculous.

  • Comment removed

  • NOT ONLY APPLICABLE TO BANKS BUT TO ALL MAJOR 500 COMPANIES FILLING UP THEIR POCKETS AT THE EXPENCE OF THE POOR!

  • COOL too bad Joe and Tom are not nude

  • @theprimeminister

    totally agree with you

  • @simolatham03 lol, you're talking about getting a good education and you can't even spell pathetic... Or Britain. Here's an idea: how about everyone on a low wage goes on strike, then wait till this fucker loses his mind. Trust me, it won't take long to appreciate that this country hinges on the jobs done by the poor. Bin men, lorry drivers, factory workers, shop workers, roadsweepers, garage forecourt workers, the list goes on.

  • Qualcuno mi traduce per favore!!!!!

  • @immadep É um anúncio que explica que basta tirar 0.05% aos bancos por cada transação que eles façam para fazer dinheiro suficiente para equilibrar as coisas relativamente à crise financeira mundial. No parlo italiano solo português :P

  • @EctomorphicDude26

    Obrigado, você é muito gentil

    Imma

  • @coldmarine because people are idiots........

  • Great just bloody Great

  • @simolatham03 And how much/long is one supposed to work to deserve billions, he????!!!! Rich people only get rich because they keep the added value and even parts of the monetary value of other peoples provided performance to themselves! So basically, "successful" people steal money from employees. And just because they can, not because they deserve!

  • que dice ? no entiendo

  • this is how harry potter should and. Draco being a good guy.

    really good campaign. I wish they would do this in Holland. all the big bonusses people working at banks are getting. it got us into a crisis, and still they are just spending and spending.

  • It will raise billions and cost ordinary people nothing.

  • this is a brilliant idea!

  • Corporations do not pay taxes, they collect them, passing the burden to consumers.

  • how could i not favourite this? chris and malfoy. and gandhi!

  • Ahhhh, tom felton xD

  • don't really understand how ANYONE can object to this. if you do, you either don't understand what they intend to do or you're just a fucking idiot. simple as that.

  • @MATPProductions or ur a banker

  • @MATPProductions

    First of all, I've worked in the City for a number of years. Taxes like this lead to less efficient markets, decreasing marking liquidity, less efficient price-finding and harms the industry that provides 9% of our GDP and 14% of our Value Added Tax. And we're the idiots? Way too many people here commenting on something they know nothing about.

  • stupid trendy crap don't change nothing!

  • In favor of this tax.

  • @aliray79 If that was really the point they should have took all his stuff, kick him in the nuts, break into his house and take everything but the kitchen sink because that's what the banks and the government are doing. Let some of those fortunate people feel a little bit of the pains of the world they help create.

  • Tom Felton looking gorgeous. And Mickey from Doctor Who. o.O

  • oh god i just saw tom felton XD

  • That's such a amazing idea!

    and omg JOE DEMPSIE! :D

  • @aliray79 the point is, they didn't rob him. they took half of one pence from him.

  • @berryesque Thanks for the info about the amount. Even not knowing what the coin denominations are, one can see it was very little the hoodied folk took away.

  • Wish they would do this in America! It's getting ridiculous how much the big companies and banks are getting rewarded for all of their horrible choices, and the people are still being punished by having the money taken away from programs that need it.

  • @lovesthecomma pass this vid around to your friends, "like" it on social networking sites. Hold community meetings and show the vid. The money thing is easily translatable to American language.

  • @lovesthecomma "Don't think about it... DO IT! Don't talk about it... just DO IT... Don't worry about it... just DO IT DO IT DO IT!" Pink Fairies - Do it. From the LP Never Never Land.

    Seriously though lovesthecomma, this is how things get started, first someone has an idea, and then it begins to grow as more hear about it, and either participate in the organising or spread the word... make it go viral by sharing this and some of the other vids in America, even if it's not you, someone will...

  • @aliray79 It almost seems as if you're not grasping the point at all.

  • @TheWayWeDie I grasp the point of the argument but just saying I think it's poorly portrayed in this way. There has to be a more positive way of getting this message across, even though I don't agree with the whole idea

  • @aliray79 I'm trying not to assume you think all teenagers see something and then instantly have to do it.

    But the point is, he had all of that stuff, that they didn't take. In no way advocating mugging.

    It seems to me you have a pretty poor view of teenagers...

    But, hey, I might be wrong.

  • @TheWayWeDie Taxes are perceived by the rich as mugging. This portrays the reality of people who have little or nothing asking for just a little that would mean a lot. The tax is also meant to reduce the number of risky transactions that have done damage to the economy and the environment.

  • @aliray79 but doesn't this way show the contrast? like your expecting them to take everything, just like thugs, yet all they take what, 5p? thats absolutely nothing to him, and they're not aggressive, they walk off smiling and say thanks

  • I <3 Tom Felton! =]

  • Wow!!!!! good idea!!!!)))))

  • didn't they try this in superman III?

  • Make #Finance #Work (#Petition) @attac @CIDSE @eurodad @ErlassJahr (Robin Hood)

  • American banks have returned every cent they were given in bailouts PLUS 8 1/2%! The American Government has made a PROFIT on the bailout. If you leave your system alone, it'll heal itself as well. Muck it up with taxes, no matter what the size, and you're causing the pain of economic recession to continue for longer than necessary.

  • @ArmyFtBall You are talking nonsense. The US has 1576 Billion $ of debts after the financial crisis. It's not just the bailouts but also the economical damage - job losses, faul credits, people loosing homes - that the crisis has created. Marcets heal themselves? Bullshit! If the states hadn't bailed out banks there would have been the total collaps. That's your selfhealing? How stupid must one be to continue believing this ideological nonsense?

  • Marvelous!

  • Marvelous!

  • steal from the rich. demonize the bankers! what a great message!

  • i want a shirt.

  • ayy tom felton!=D

  • i kinda want one of the hoodies

    post a link if we can get one!
