Delay the sale of RBS until the taxpayer has made a profit on the bailout

What the petition asks
The government bought a 72% stake in RBS after the Financial crisis and has kept it in public ownership whilst it was posting losses. This year it finally posted a healthy profit, so the Tories have decided to sell it. We will be making a £26 billion loss on this purchase.
