Hi Edward, What I am not sure of is, whether the BP funding strategy, goes right across the board for all projects, events and exhibitions.
For instance, I am wondering if the 'No Soul for Sale' 2 day festival programme (ouch the irony!), was included within this context? http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/nosoulforsale/default.shtm marc > I must say I think it's disgusting that the Tate are still accepting funding from BP. The very least charge which can be levelled against BP is that they don't seem to have done any contingency planning at all. They've acted on the assumption that a disaster of this type would never occur, and only now that it has happened are they trying to think what can be done about it. This is exactly what worries me about nuclear power, which governments are now turning to in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions - nuclear generation is only an acceptable source of energy provided nothing goes wrong with it, but of course things always do go wrong - but that's another argument. > > I'm sure there are good people working for BP, and for all the oil companies. My brother in law used to work for Shell. I'm sure he didn't think that the occasional environmental catastrophe was a price worth paying for oil. But actions speak louder than words, and this is the message that comes across time and again from the actions of the oil companies. > > I don't think British Petroleum should be called British Petroleum any more. It makes me feel ashamed to be British. I think those of us who live in Britain should start a campaign to demand that they change their name, as a measure of our disgust with them and desire to dissociate ourselves from them. Shittish Petroleum might be more appropriate. > > - Edward Picot > > > _______________________________________________ > NetBehaviour mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
