How strange that you Yanks have BECOME,all of a sudden,'experts' on the 'supposed' tyrannies of British Petroleum past and present.Maybe with such an insightful knowledge of their undertakings, you should have warned us all BEFORE the recent oil spillage of their wicked ways,thus making your rants a little more creditable!!! I for one will NEVER AGAIN use American sub contractors in my own personnal oil exploration endeavours and will actively encourage everyone else to buoycott all US products in perpetuity!!!!
Strange how some people become so sensitive to the criticism of a huge transnational corporation and go into denial about it's faults when said corporation is from their own country. Is it some kind of misplaced nationalism? Do you have a lot of their shares or do you work for them?
As I stated earlier, I haven't bought petrol from BP or Shell for years. But sorry I didn't start a thread on a big cock site about it. You're right, I should have warned you...
I don't boycott all British products because of BP, I boycott them because of their odd design and shoddy assembly. (Joking, joking... I own a Triumph motorcycle and McVitie's Digestives and HobNobs are divine)
The investigations into this accident are only just starting and charges have not been laid so we don't know who did what or what the role of the sub-contractors was. But be sure, whatever they did wrong, their employer is ultimately responsible.
You cry that we are too quick to point the finger BP. Yet you are so sure it was "the useless US contractors who caused the problem". Somewhat hypocritical I think. Especially as no one has suggested that the contractors are without fault. You won't find much love of Halliburton around these forums and many wouldn't mind them getting a good thrashing.
