Tom Felton mentioned on his Twitter earlier this year that he took part in a promotional advert for a British Robin Hood Tax proposal. It is described as a very small tax - sometimes as low as 0.005 percent - on banks, edge funds and other financial institutions, which would raise potentially billions of pounds that would go to help fight poverty and climate change all around the world. The video has just been released, in which Tom and fellow British actors Sir Ben Kingsley, Noel Clarke, Joe Dempsie, and more display how much of a difference a small percentage can make. It can be viewed below.





Tom's Harry Potter costar Bill Nighy (Rufus Scrimgeour) played a banker in an earlier promo for the Robin Hood Tax. That can be watched here:
