Robin Hood Banking Tax 'Would Raise Billions'

BBC: Supporters say money raised could help protect public services and jobs, fight poverty and tackle climate change.

The campaign is backed by almost 50 groups, including the TUC and Oxfam, and celebrities like actor Bill Nighy.

Mr Nighy told BBC Radio 5 Live: “This is a tax on speculative banking, the kind of gambling that went on that got us into trouble.”
