London's bankers are threatening to quit the city following the British government's announcement that it will be taxing bonuses at 50 percent this year. “I can’t tell you how many people have called me from London asking to move,” one Wall Street banker told the Financial Times. “The question all the banks have now is: who the hell wants to be in the U.K.?
