Richard, in all of the coverage I've seen of this disaster (and I've seen a lot), I have never seen anyone focusing on the idea of BP supposedly being a British company, or being "English". All of the criticism I have seen has been direct their being a huge corporation that is guilty of serial criminal negligence. That's all. Nothing whatever about Britishness or Englishness. Nobody really gives a flying fuck where BP are from. We're too busy worrying about our fucking Gulf of Mexico, and our fucking Mississippi Delta and all of our fucking pristine wetlands that are being fucking destroyed by an evil fucking criminally negligent fucking behemoth of a corporation. You really need to get off of this "bigotry" jag that you're on, because it's making you look a total prat.
