Mark Carney, FSB chairman and governor of the Bank of England, said the plans were a "watershed" moment.

He said it had been "totally unfair" for taxpayers to bail out banks after the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009.

I doubt that these will be implemented in the US. Our government is too much in the pocket of the banks.
