What the petition asks

George Osborne used his budget announcement to bury a multi-billion pound loss for the taxpayer.
George Osborne the Chancellor should be sacked for incompetence & missing his own arbitrary deficit targets.Information taken from http://www.thecanary.co
He has cost us funds that could pay for over 100,000 nurses – for a decade.
Figures from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). Their findings show that the taxpayer is set to lose nearly £22billion from George Osborne’s planned sale of our shares in the RBS bank.
The £22bn we are set to lose from RBS shares could pay for either:
103,000 nurses for 10 years
5,946 primary schools
147,000 affordable homes
40 state-of-the-art hospitals
