Flashmob, Cardiff, Oxfam. The Robin Hood Tax campaign hits the streets

[RobinHoodTax]

Great flashmob, we need more of this to get people talking about a Robin Hood Tax! This tax is still the best way of paying for the damage done by the financial crisis.

Would like to clarify a couple of points in response to some inaccurate comments posted here.

Firstly it's not a tax on people - it's a tax on banks to raise money we need to safeguard public services here in the UK and help finance key international challenges. This tax means that the banks will take resposibility for clearing up the crisis they created. Secondly, the tax will be an average 0.005% on financial transaction taxes which is 5p of every £1000 traded.

Tony Blair, W.M.D.s, Global Warming, Obama and now the latest addition to the world of bullshit comes the Robin Hood Tax. And again, the idiots in this world will fall for this great big lie. Will it ever end - will people ever wise up - I doubt it.

This is a joke, right? LOL TAXING people to get donations instead of having the public give voluntarily. LOL Is this a Monty Python skit making fun of those asking for higher taxes??? bwahahaha Great job.

The amount is 5p in every 100 pounds, not 5p in every 1000 pounds as the video states! Otherwise nicely done, thank you!
