Let us understand that "colluding" on something involves both sides doing something.
When found out one side gets off scot free, the other pays £121m.
1. Do you honestly believe that if BA had spoken to the government first about this colluding, Virgin would have been fined £121m and BA allowed to get off scot free ?
2. Sir Richard Branson was Chairman of Virgin throughout this period of the collusion (the BA top execs have changed since then). Will Sir Richard now resign ?
3. Who, other than the lawyers involved, thinks that this "if you say so first, get let off, if you say so second, fined a huge amount of money" approach does anything other than drag the law into complete disrepute ?
