Lets reverse roles and say Exxon spilled 60,000 barrels a day of oil off the English coast, Brits would be screaming bloody murder (that they do so well) and have their hands out for CASH.
Fuck BP I'll NEVER buy gas from them.  |
Just because they have British in their name doesn't make them British owned and operated. British people don't get dividends from profits, nor should they get blame because of this problem. Go ahead and boycott BP. Did you boycott Exxon when the Valdez sank? I'd like to know.
And BP oil is sold to nearly all other gas station companies, so you'll be buying their products one way or another.
Get off the bandwagon, and say something smart for a change. Racist.
And for the records I think what has happened is a total tragedy. I blame all oil companies for cutting corners and trying to maximize profits. However I am not a hypocrite and know that i rely on their oil as much as the next person. But what you're saying is unhelpful and wrong in this situation.
