Quite frankly if this was the reason why then it is really typical British attitude isn't it? How can CMA justify acting like a worldwide regulator, demanding concessions to apply worldwide but also in the same sentence say "we're too lazy to monitor anything so we'll just block all behavioural remedies" without taking into considering what the rest of the world thinks?

If this was a major factor in blocking the deal then my response would be for CMA to never demand that concessions apply worldwide again if they can't be bothered to put the work in, ultimately, the decision likely remains the same but I hate the arrogant "we'll decide for everyone else" attitude on display here.
