BP ban on US contracts 'could take months to lift’ - parliamentary year book

BP ban on US contracts 'could take months to lift’ - parliamentary year book

Typical Limey mud slinging to deal with another one of their screw ups.  You know, if you had a bit more accountability and less of the nasty stuff, you wouldn't screw up so much. 

American technology, middle management, contractors, sub-contractors, cement - hell it's really Amoco so it's an american company founded in the 1880s.   But don't worry - we stuck $20billion in a fund so that that your fishermen who lost their catch for 6 weeks don't lose out - that oughta cover it.

Still, ultimately the management is in the UK so we should take some heat for it.  But there's nothing a parochial yank likes more than someone else to f'up so that he can dogpile on top.  No matter how much responsibility the "furrnurrs" own up to. 

But I know, you're feeling blue because Obama's just got another 4 years to bury you republican bozos forever.  aww boohoo.  We're loving that over here. Say byebye now.


And ditto for playing stuff down and passing the buck.  It is going to be a longtime before the Limeys stop being royal screw up considering their arsenal of nasty stuff and dirty tricks.




As a BP shareholder the only thing I am waiting for is the final bill for the per barrel pollution - of course like the rest its just part of a Chicago shakedown.

When the final final bill is known then the only hope is that Exxon, Chevron et al can do their calculations with confidence & put their bids in. At present BP's oil is valued at under half that of Shell or Exxon, on a per barrel basis. Enough room for a 30-40% premium from the current share price & still make commercial sense - particularly when the cost savings of sacking the BP duffers are allowed.



With how royally you douches screwed up, the Chicago shakedown is not enough.  Definitely would have to go with the London banker shakedown.  But even that is not enough considering that you bozos destroyed a whole sea.  Why the losses are incalculable.  You are lucky our government is easily bought or else  we would have taken possesion of the UK to make for the losses.  And rightfully so.



Rubbish ! How can you conscienciously put a dollar amount on gulf coast prestine beaches ruined for decades by the lack of intergrity of BP? Not to mention, the destruction of hundreds of miles of prime Emperor Penguin wintering nesting habitat.



Be interested to see the source for that statistic, as it suggests they were more murderous than Stalin, Hitler and Mao combined. By the way, Union Carbide, or their successors, paid about $2000 (sic) for each of the lives taken, which would put BP's compensation bill on the same scale at a shade under $25'000 excluding inflation.


It's not just about the oil spill.  That just got people paying attention. 

BP showed a clear lack of integrity over the last 15 years with a lack of regard for human safety in favor of the bottom line.  There are multiple instances and many failed audits.  This was the last straw that got people looking deeper.

Although I definitely agree there should be more accountability across the board.


Winston Churchill killed that many Indians in a week's time. If you're looking for the most efficient and ruthless killer of Indian nationals, Winnie's your man.
