Gordon Brown's Mea Culpa

The Telegraph reports that Gordon Brown has admitted that he made a “big mistake” in the way he tackled financial regulation before the banking system collapsed.

As noted many times before on this site, the tripartite regulatory system set up by Gordon Brown failed primarily because no one body that belonged to it (ie Bank of England, Treasury and FSA) was deemed to actually be in charge of it.

Brown's admission is somewhat late in the day to be of any value!
