I am sure they are giving them 2 to 3 times as much as that.
BP always underestimate their generosity...Not Again0 -
big wow 11 dead yanks on a yank oil rig ,an american one that was working for bp , where does the responsibilty lie with the owner operators for their staf?
.Did u see it on tv every time the bp exec said we never put safety second , every question or response from the witchunters was saying that they did.
How many iraqis have died for american oil , and american companies?
How about american occidental and piper alpha , 167 dead.
How about exxon and the valdez clean up costs , now they want to change the law retrospectively , but not apply it to exxon.
wake up people the yanks want to knock down the price of bp to take it over at bargain basement.... bit like the eu did about rbs when you think about it , one rule for us and one rule for you about state ownership.
Dont get me started on the media being controlled by political and financial companies in the USA , wasnt so long ago they were attacking toyota.And lets not forget the fatally designed american cars , but hey they never made it outside the usa.
What about the fact they caused the world economic crisis , then protected the banks that did it with both chapter 11 and tarp monies.The americans have prospered by , and because of , the econimic crisis , both world wars , illegal invasions , trade wars and now the brits are the new taliban.
You dont need a sore hole to know you are being well fxxxed.....and you can grate you teeth as they say "have a nice day , please come again" afterwards.Have you tried turning it off and on again?0 -

The yanky doodle idiots need lightning up after all lolHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
What ever the cost of the clean up you know who pays in the end, us the end user at the pump. PS the valve that failed and started the leak was it made by a US firm ???
When the yanks dragged the rest of us down financially we rolled over and took it.??I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:0 -
According to some source or another the rig was built by a US company.
Americans never admit failure. A pound to a penny they think they can walk on water...or oil. lolHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

I wonder if there will ever be an official enquiry into this incident. My money is on deliberate American sabotage, then destroy a foreign oil company. Trust me the American government will and can do this sort of thing.0
