Hi Alison and all

 

I've been shocking lax in promoting the Tax Justice petition I gave into
Number 11 last year with Parly Square Maria, but Alison's email (see
below) about Brown's FSA vs BOE on Tobin has prompted me to re-circulate
it before it's too late (it runs out in Nov).. pls support! 

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Abolish Tax Havens,
Enact Tobin Tax & Reform CAP for an end to poverty world-wide.

 

Pls read full details of proposals at
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/tobintaxnow/

 

Also, see info below about Campaign for Real Democracy workshop-meeting
at Climate Camp this Friday

 

Apologies for cross posting

 

Cheers, Mark

The head of the FSA has suggested bringing in the Tobin tax and has been
attacked for it. (Channel 4 News today, 12pm. Might be available online
to watch). See the spokesperson for the British Bankers Assoc say why it
won't work.
