How the Robin Hood Tax Raised Billions – and British Eyebrows – in 2024

How the Robin Hood Tax Raised Billions – and British Eyebrows – in 2024
Fri, 2/21/2014 - by RobinHoodTax

The year is 2024. Europe has had a Robin Hood Tax for ten years and have been using it to fund public services and the fight against poverty and climate change. Everyone is delighted with what it's achieved. Everyone, of course, except The Banker.

Bill Nighy returns in the newest Robin Hood Tax film, "Future News," about what a decade of a Robin Hood Tax could mean for Europe. He brings with him Andrew Lincoln from "The Walking Dead," Clémence Poésy from the Harry Potter films, Javier Camara from "Talk To Her," and Heike Makatsch from "Love Actually." Watch the film and sign the petition to establish a Robin Hood Tax today.
