Poor little Davey, he's saddened and hurt that Obama said BP are a bunch of tossers. It offends his patriotic identity. Americans have been accused of anti-British feelings.
It's not often that I side with the Americans, but pardon me for thinking I'd be mightily pissed off if well in excess of a million gallons of oil a day had been spilling into my pond for two months. I'd also be thinking I'd want the head of the people responsible on a platter, possibly with fries. But hey, the Gulf of Mexico is a big ocean and I want my life back, what's 60 million gallons of oil between friends?
What life? The one you made on the back of fuck knows how many dodgy deals, taking full advantage of the fact that it's a global economy? Global? So, what's British identity got to do with it? And even if it did, isn't the Gulf part of the globe too? Oh, I see, it's only global when you can make a shitload of money out of it, never mind that a catastrophe on this scale affects us all, regardless of where we live or what our passport says.
A bit like the Germans getting all hurt when you tell them Hitler was a mass murderer, really.
While we're on the subject, how about doing something about this too? Or doesn't "global" extend to Africa?
