Stop George Osborne selling TAX PAYER FUNDED shares at LOSS without our approval

Closed 38 signatures

What the petition asks

If we, the tax payers of Britain, are expected to stump up to SAVE the banking system then we should have an equal right to approve the sale of shares especially if they are to sold at a loss to the same financial scoundrels who have benefitted most from AUSTERITY.
There is no defence for giving more public money to financial institutions when the austerity strategy is being applied to more and more areas of public spending and we believe the British people deserve a full and proper justification that addresses this fundamental hypocrisy.
