Using conflict to double profits should be a war crime.

For hundreds of years banks profit the most. Every time there is a war they get a f*** load better at what they do. Same as the media. Everyone profits ten times over when there is a war and others either lose ten times over or die. Welcome to Earth, where humanity just can’t f****** get along.

I bet they are whining and crying about losses if UK government changes petrol tax in any way that doesn't favor their profits. It's how our petrol company does every time government regulates gas taxes. All while they are reporting record profits. Corporate bullshittery needs to die.

Good for them, Aberdeen needs some good news, especially with the continuing punitive taxes BP already has. It seems they've done a good job cutting costs in the hard times and are now enjoying the good times.
