Submitted by Sebastian Garside – Deadline to sign up by: 28 July 2008 – Signatures: 197
I, for one, am completely disgusted that my hard earned taxes are being utilised to subsidise the endorsement of the incompetence and mismanagement of UK banks. I demand that the Prime Minister intervene and cancel the Bank Of England's 'rescue proposal' as it is clearly aimed at protecting the private banking sector's few, at the expense of the general taxplaying public's many.
I would like the Prime Minister to answer the following question:-
Why are those who have not purchased a house, because they could not afford it and have been responsible with their credit cards and general debt by not over-borrowing, paying, through the use of their taxes, for the mistakes of others, and the corporate mismanagement of the UK's financial sector?
