SCIAF - Support Robin Hood Tax

I received a mailing for the Scottish Aid charity SCIAF. I was pleased to see SCIAF promoting the Robin Hood Tax. In my previous employment I used to work closely with SCIAF when we supported a thing called the Tobin Tax which is what the Robin Hood Tax used to be known as.

I have been a long-term supporter of the Robin Hood Tax. It is a simple idea which is supported by trade unions, faith groups and a wide variety of politicians including those on the right such as Nicholas Sarkozy. This is a tax on banks that would give billions to tackle poverty and climate change, both at home and abroad.

SCIAF are starting their major six-week fundraising campaign around their 'Wee Box.' SCIAF is a Scottish-based aid charity which is well worth supporting.
