In fairness probably only 2% of people in those types of house live in the UK full times anyway.

The council begging letter is sitting on the large hallway floor. The wealthy "owner" is a shell company in the Cayman Islands that owns a shell company in Belize that owns a shell company in Panama. ...

They paid all the tax due. As most houses in Westminster are empty and just an investment, what do you expect?

The money saved can be used to improve cladding on their property investments in high rise blocks.

Looking at the article the services that they want the extra money for are all things that should be funded by the council anyway.

If they cant afford to provide the services they should put council tax up for everyone not just those who they perceive can afford it.
