the view of one FABO member.

To cries of "Who needs human rights - all we need is rights to OIL!" and "One less Columbian - One less problem" "Thats what BP thinks and ts good enough for me" and exhortations to end concern for environemtal and social welfare to hike that share price up a notch or 2, the delgates streamed in to the Royal Albert Hall. Cheered by our "rightthinking" world view, and my advice for BP to be more like Petrel (whose company report states "Strange to tell, but war has been good for Petrel" and who went into Iraq with a private military force to secure the oilfields before the formal end of full scale combat operations) many of the DJ'd delegates couldnt believe their luck.

One poster read: "FABO demand more- death, more corruption, more money, more profit, more oil, more abuse and more pollution" while another listed BPs glorious achievements: from Columbian death squads to squalid financial dealings...

Impressed by FABO members one delegate wobbled over to me and demanded a kiss. Well, how could any self respecting FABO-ette refuse the advances of Big Business?

The kilted men and tottering wimmin lapped up the leaflets with the transatlentic contingent being particularly grateful for our interest and support.
