Isnt the whole reason for the booming financcial sector in London down to a more favourable tax regime?

No - lax regulation was the key.

I have a mate who is still being paid his full salary of 90k from Lloyds TSB 10 months after he failed an interview for his own job, they just sent him home on gardening leave and have yet to decided how to get rid of him.

With any luck, anyone who remembers this fact will also be on gardening leave or transferred elsewhere. He could continue to receive his salary for a long time yet !

(I've heard of cases like this in the past, e.g. the person who wrote this book while being paid by his employer who had forgotten all about him)

A windfall tax is not the answer - what's needed is something that directs a surplus of profit back to the people that need it most - those people and businesses who can't get credit.
