dannym3141says...I had to downvote this because of your fucking stupid video comment.
Not only is BP no longer a british company (since long before the spill), but i'd like to point out that the deepwater horizon rig was owned by transocean LEASED to BP. That means that probably the only thing on that rig that had an affiliation to BP was some stickers, a few posters and 2 blokes in a suit who said "send the oil rigs over there."
Briefly check who transocean are and you'll find that though its offices move from time to time to take advantage of tax, it's historically an american company, merged with other companies (some of them yet again US based) buti'll stop short of being as ignorant as you and suggest it may have international shareholders too, and as far as i'm concerned the accident was 60% their fault and 40% BP's stupid fault for not fixing and properly equipping the shit-shoddy equipment they leased.
A friend of mine from arkansas insisted to me when the accident happened that he had some insider info having worked in the business, and when i said i was pretty ashamed an ex-british company could get so crap, he said, "You're pretty naive, that whole damn rig was run by americans and staffed by americans."
Sorry if this was an unecessarily aggressive response to a joke, but i'm pretty sick of hearing that sort of thing. If anyone thinks that the entire crew of people working on that rig were a bunch of careless limeys, the same careless limeys who are failing to do a proper clean up, you need to look a lot closer to home.
Edit:
Bit more to add, a US based company attended the rig to fix a fault and were asked a few questions about the incident as well as cameron international (US based) who made the equipment which failed.
Yogisays...So you're saying this is all Englands Fault!
mgittlesays...[Hostile 3 paragraph reply about lack of apostrophe in "Englands" in @Yogi's comment and "shick" in the title of this video]
In seriousness, agree with @dannym3141
