While some people stared in shock at the sight of a group of adults dancing about in the cold wearing neon masks and waving leaflets and others hurried on by, many people stopped to find out more about the campaign and to make their contribution to the video message. <\/p>\n
In the current climate, the word \u2018tax\u2019 can generate a range of different, and quite often aggressive, reactions. But once people realised that the proposed tax is tiny, won\u2019t affect the consumer and can generate a huge amount to fight global poverty, they were surprised, pleased and ready to go and shout about it to everyone else they know.<\/p>\n
The Robin Hood Tax campaign is gaining momentum across the South West and throughout the UK. 70,146 people have voted in favour of the Robin Hood Tax on the website<\/a> while journalist Polly Toynbee<\/a> and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams<\/a>, are the latest public figures to come out in support of the campaign. <\/p>\n But Robin Hood still needs you! To show your support for the campaign, vote \u2018yes\u2019 on the Robin Hood Tax website<\/a>, spread the word on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> and tell everyone you know! If you fancy dressing up as Robin Hood and organising a flashmob, visiting your MP or writing a letter to your local paper, let us know as we love to hear about your campaigning exploits! <\/p>\n Watch the Dorchester video message to Oliver Letwin<\/a><\/p>\n
