Is the bailout fair on British taxpayers?

This morning a Labour government announced details of a plan to tax the British public to the tune of £50 billion in order to save British banks. That's £50 BILLION - already equivalent to about a third of total annual income tax bills, and enough to cover more than half the yearly cost of the NHS.

Are the people of Britain being forced to pay for the mistakes of unscrupulous bankers? Is this the lowest point in Labour's history? Who's to blame - and can we ever forgive those responsible?

Have your say and take part in our poll....
