A friend of mine runs a holiday establishment.
A man from the British Banker’s Association came in.
When he’d left he’d annotated my friend’s Robin Hood Tax poster:

Alex- You obviously know very little about banking to rely on the old stereotypical view of what banking actually entails. I’m surprised you didn’t prefix “fatcat” or something similar ahead of banker.
I appreciate the rather bizarre nature of someone on holiday adding post-it’s…almost bizarre as someone who runs a holiday establishment putting up political posters in their establishment.
Richard, as you are a fan of this “tax”, would you be good enough to address the points made?
