Here’s the Bill Nighy video advertising the Robin Hood Tax, which is calling for a 0.05% tax on banking transactions. The tax could potentially raise at least $100 billion pounds to fight against child poverty and tackle poverty and climate change around the world, according to the campaign. At least one or two enterprising hackers at GS may have a problem with that.

I just threw up from an overdose of smug.
I just threw up because of Anal_yst.
“Tackle poverty” – by stealing money from one person and giving it to another. I guess it could work.
Climate change? That’s right, all it takes is money to fix it. And global governance. That it, once we’re sure it is a problem. Or that there is actually something we can do to change (“fix”) it. Yeah that’s right, once we’re sure.
Why are the best actors always the most terrible people
God, those Limeys have some crazy idea of what capitalism is about. Limey socialists! .05% is not actually a large number but .05% on trillions dollars transactions will amount to billions of dollars to save global warming, pandas in China, starving kids in India, the whales, debt reductions in the third world, debt reduction in the developed world, etc…?! Where do they think the billions are magically going to appear from, some 88888 account at the banks that was not funded by consumer blood sweat and tears?
This video depiction is as unrealistic as the Lehman Bros one the BBC put out that had Dick Fuld punching a gorilla and John Thain lounging in his bedroom in a smoking jacket! Don’t these guys do any Shia Le Boeuf quality research?
@3…you’ll like living in Mexico.
If GS were smart, rather than causing a hack cheat, they should have posted their own 3:25 minute advert starring Lucas Van Praag who is filmed answering the same questions from the off-screen interviewer.
That would have knocked back these no-good do-gooders flat.
I love it …
Here’s a better idea. When banks compute the interest earned on accounts and there’s a fraction of a cent, the computer usually rounds off. What we should do is take those remainders and put it into the charity’s account. No one would miss it and we could solve all kinds of world problems.
@9 – Oh, so you’d steal it.
@9 – Yeah, you know everything and all possible economic and social consequences of “just taking those cents”. You are “The Decider”. Good job. Impulsive, arbitrary machinations such as yours virtually always increase poverty in the long-run.
