Robin Hood Tax campaign, the green-clad Robin Hoods marched to Parliament.
On Tuesday the 23rd of March 2010, the day before Alistair Darling makes his 2010 Budget speech, around a dozen Robin Hoods will be delivering their own green-coloured Budget boxes to the Treasury, calling on the Chancellor to announce the introduction of a tax on banks’ financial transactions. To illustrate the call from the Robin Hood Tax campaign, the green-clad Robin Hoods will be marching in a line from College Green across Parliament Square en route to the Treasury offices in Parliament Street. Inside the green Robin Hood Tax campaign Budget boxes will be a letter to the Chancellor calling on him to kick start international agreement for new financial transaction taxes by using Wednesday’s Budget to announce a new unilateral UK sterling tax. The boxes will also contain a scroll reminding Alistair Darling of the support that the Robin Hood Tax campaign has gathered since it launched last month. Some 100 organisations are now backing the coalition, which has 141,085 fans on Facebook and 71,492 people have voted yes to a financial transactions tax on the campaign’s website
