Rejected petition Fund the £200 million for Thomas Cook and save the tax payer £600 million.
1000's of jobs in the UK and around the world are dependent on Thomas Cook survival. It would cost the gov £600m in tax payers money just to repatriate everyone. Then there will be mass bankruptcies of other travel companies (at least 165 in one go).
More details
Its not just TC - airport handlers, fuel providers, hoteliers, airport staff, small tour operators, independent travel agents - the economic impact will be massive.
