> Judith Vidal-Hall, one of the claimants suing Google, said: "Google is very much here in the UK. It has a UK specific site. It has staff here. It sells adverts here. It makes money here. It is ludicrous for it to claim that, despite all of this very commercial activity, it won't answer to our courts."
That does sum up my view on it too.
If there is a case to answer, then given that Google are here in the UK then they are bound to operate within UK law and answer it.
We've long gone beyond the point at which we can pretend that there is no UK presence.
