While you've got a good vantage from your high horse, take a look at Exxon. 5 billion dollars in punitive damages reduced to 500 million after 20 YEARS in your "justice" system. But they're Good Ol' Boys, they're different. While I'm happily amongst the first to bag the poms, the rhetoric coming out of the US over this issue is shamelessly hypocritical.

And lets not forget the whole Bhopal disaster, in which thousands of people died, yet the US refused to allow the CEO be touched by the Indians.
 
Manchester Arndale still have some stock, i was in there at lunchtime buying a Griffin A frame stand and a guy next to me bought one. Didnt notice which model though.

Bhopal was and is a terrible incident but we didn't make jokes about it. And one tanker really? How many tankers have been dumped since the start of this? Not sure you can count that high. Third largest spill so far. And I guess your BP rocket sientist siting around thinking about how to stop it really helped.

Why are most of you yanks so thick?
In fact your so thick you continuosly to give really thick people the top job - RR, bush snr and jnr and now Obama. Or are they just puppets?
Don't be fooled that this oil disaster is a British problem only. There are many Americans involved as well. BP is a multi-national company. Obama knows this but is looking for a scapegoat rather than tackle the real problem that you yanks are the biggest polluters because of your greed for oil.

Thick? your ignorance amazes me, I only said if a US company did this off the shores of your country you would be crying for the US to give you and your kids hand-outs for the rest of your lives.....

Greed for oil wake up If you bumpkins would go out and get a job and would work an honest days work maybe you to would be able to afford a car that would require gasoline. And don't think the greed to capitalize on the US is what BP is doing? Think before you speak.

The real problem is your country was to stupid to put safe guards in they just did what was cheapest so they could make big profits off everyone.
 
So by your logic, the spill in the Gulf of Mexico occurred because the US:



Obviously you're not a:

You jokes suck! Maybe they are funny to stupid people like your family members. And in third world countries like the one you live in.

You do realise that BP or Beyond Petrolium as it's legally been known as since it merged with Amoco in 1998, is 40% British owned and 39% American owned.
