Last week, if you googled "Boris Johnson" and "police" you'd get articles about the police being called to his home after his shameful behaviour towards his partner.
e.g. articles like this one that said:
Police were called to the home of Boris Johnson and his partner, Carrie Symonds, in the early hours of Friday morning after neighbours heard a loud altercation involving screaming, shouting and banging.
The argument could be heard outside the property where the potential future prime minister is living with Symonds, a former Conservative party head of press.
A neighbour [...] heard a woman screaming followed by “slamming and banging”. At one point Symonds could be heard telling Johnson to “get off me” and “get out of my flat”.
But now, you don't get that at all. Instead you get lots of articles about him using the police as a backdrop for a political speech.
AIBU to think someone advising him understands SEO (the art of gaming Google results) and set this up deliberately?
It's not the first time either, he very unconvincing tried to tell us all he relaxes by painting model buses made out of wine crates (seriously?!) - a story that moved criticism of his bus lies down the Google results. And also distracted from other bad press at the time. www.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/the-sinister-theory-about-boris-johnson-s-model-bus-story-john-mclellan-1-4956344/
