Rejected petition Retain the banks in public ownership

More details

The UK Government owns 80% of RBS and other high street banks. These banks were bailed out by the taxpayer and have not paid off their debts to the UK. We demand that the Government retain it's share in the banks in order that we profit in the banks success and prevent further failures and excessive bonuses through public ownership.
