Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Save 9,000 UK jobs.
TCX looked to have secured the future of the company. At last minute banks inc RBS/Lloyds, demanded an additional £200 million. RBS/Lloyds were bailed out to the tune of £65 billion.
RBS is majority owned by the state. Government needs to tell these banks to support Thomas Cook
