BP - off the hook ? ...and a BUY ?

BP NYSE has fallen since open, apparently the hedge funds had the idea to buy the ADR before open and sell the London shares which were overvalued comparatively0 -
It is a pretty good article that tells us nothing we didn't already know. Yanks don't really do history very well, as they just re-write it to suit. In US history books Union Carbide is probably some European company. Since they re-write history they don't like, there's nothing to learn.

More backlash, time for Obama to feel some heat.

Echoes my feelings exactly, this is what I meant earlier when I said we may be reaching an inflection point.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

Excellent article in today's Guardian.http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cif-green/2010/jun/10/obama-lessons-bhopal-bp
Interesting stats.BP at December 2009, 40 per cent of BP’s shares were owned in Britain, but 39 per cent were owned in the US.
It has six British directors and six American, and employs 22,000 Americans against 10,000 Britons.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

Boris and Tebbit stepped up today to tell it like it is with Obama's failure of leadership and . Proper Tories.
'Call be Dave' Dave made squeaking noises. Pathetic. Heir to Blair? Heir to 'bottler' Brown, I'd say!
Time to extend the blacklisting of USA products I think (obviously no-one should be buying Kraft's stuff anyway after their lies and asset stripping of Cadbury)
Of course, Obamalamadingdong knows what he's doing...

What about all the innocents they've slaughtered in Middle East - and our boys who've been hit with friendly fire.
No doubt Mr Ding Dong's treasury will be stepping up to the plate with full compensation and pensions. He wouldn't want them toto 'nickel & dime' it, would he?
If Americans are so bl**dy clever, why don't they just stop the oil and bill BP for their services?0
