"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."

Well, it's nicely branded and they have done well getting a particularly squirming actor.
A complete waste of time, of course.

EU calls for tax on bank transactions (11 December 2009)
European Union leaders have urged the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to consider implementing a global tax on financial transactions.
A so-called "Tobin Tax" has been pushed by France and the UK, but is less popular in the US.

This was on the tv yesterday morning.
I'd vote yes for this.
love the idea.
why should we pay 17.5% on every transaction when banks pay 0%

I'm a definite fan. The only reason there isn't one already is because the bankers literally just do whatever the fuck they want and suck the world dry

I am happy to have a new enemy.
Terrorists were getting so boring. bankers are way more fun.
£100 billion each year... for free, well free unless you're a bank. It is really amazing that no one thought to take advantage of this free source of money before.
I am certain this will have nothing but positive effects. No negative repercussions at all.
