These results are not the product of either improved efficiency or greater investment…

So Shell isn’t investing or striving for greater efficiency?!!

Somebody better tell the CEO of Sakhalin Energy, he’s labouring under the mistaken impression Shell have invested serious cash into the Sakhalin II project and has carried out significant de-bottlenecking works to increase efficiency.

for some reason Hattersley is mistaken for a man of gravitas, but every time he opens his mouth or writes something, vomit emerges

I like the idea of a windfall tax, and would just love to be a CEO of an energy company.

You see, it would be a perfect as a means for punishing ignorant fuckwits who will vote for any tax as long as someone else pays it.

I would move the company domicile outside of the UK, and then I would put my UK prices up by exactly the same amount of the tax. The bills would be printed with a line that said “total includes £xx.yy of Labour Party windfall tax”.

Don’t worry, GeoffH. Labour have already crushed our education system and faith in democracy. Do keep up!

Just look at the comments, though. The ignorance and prejudice on display makes a pretty poor advertisement both for our education system and democracy.

Hang on. I should be against this windfall tax, but am caught in two minds after Patricia Hewitt criticised the proposed tax. Surely anything she says must be wrong.

All we need is for Gordon Brown to say it’s a good idea – then we know beyond any reasonable doubt that it’s a pile of ****.
