    Britain says a lot of shit.

    The fact they are suggesting this is down to Northerners is a new low.

    What’s that, man in Burnley? BP can offset their horrific environmental track record by exporting their harm to the bottom of the sea?

    Sure, that’s a great Idea and we love your ferret and whippet.

      I believe it’s about shoveling money to the oil companies and providing a bit of cover for building a new gas-burning power plant
