Old Pals' Act

Google's response in every case has been to fight on every front. It has appealed all the fines, resisted making any changes, and, rivals say, distorted whatever changes it has made in order to maintain its control.

In the Google Shopping case, the tech giant only submitted a compliance plan three hours before its 60-day deadline. It appealed the decision. And it made changes that rivals said were effectively worthless, prompting them, last year, to ask the European Commission to find the company in non-compliance of the EU’s decision.

Just last week, those same companies reiterated the same concerns - that Google was “artfully avoiding compliance with the law”

Well, Boris Johnson is guaranteed a job for life once he's kicked out by the voters.
