Make short selling shares illegal in the UK

Petition Details

I believe short selling of stocks in the UK causes instability in companies share prices.

Additional Information

How on earth can some other company loan out something you own without your consent? I believe that it amounts to legal theft authorised by the government, I think it is open to abuse, and needs to be banned and stopped.
