Darling: Windfall Tax Now
Please sign our petition now
Dear Alistair Darling, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
We call on you to draw up a plan for a windfall tax on banks
The tax-payer spent billions saving the banks, placing a major strain on public finances
If banks can now make billions in profit and award huge bonuses they can afford to start paying back the money spent to save the sector
The entire banking sector benefited from the Government propping up the sector, it's only right that they all pay back the money spent to save them.

The banks created this recession through irresponsible lending and lax controls. The Government is proposing big cut-backs to pay for the debt they took on to save the banks. It's not bankers will suffer from these cuts, it's the rest of the country.
We call on the Government to draw up a plan for a windfall tax on banks and bankers to recoup the billions spent on saving the banks.
