EAs working hard to help bring foreign money to London

Wall St Journal: Behind London's Boom, Billionaires From Abroad

"The U.K. taxes foreigners who claim their true home, or "domicile," is elsewhere only on the money they earn in, or bring into, Britain. All assets elsewhere aren't taxed. The U.S., by contrast, taxes residents on their world-wide income."

Is this good for the UK? How much of this foreign wealth actually benefits Britons?

It's certainly a great place to "invest" any dirty laudry.
