Telegraph: UK: FSA chief Lord Turner warns he won't be distracted from 'radical' reform of banks

Regulators will not be distracted from the 'radical' reforms on pay and capital requirements required at the banks despite early signs of economic recovery, Lord Turner, chairman of the Financial Services Authority (FSA), has pledged.

Giving evidence before the Treasury Select Committee on Tuesday, he said: "There is a danger, because we are now seeing positive signs, that there could be some drawing back from the degree of radicalisation required. [We must] ensure we're not sitting here again in 10 to 15 years' time. We are going to make sure we are being radical enough."

Yea, right. Unless the government reverses policy and stops propping up and encouraging casino capitalism, even in the banks it directly owns we're not just gonna be sitting here looking at the same mess again in 15 years, we're gonna be back here in 15 months.
