Lee Raymond Comes to London

OIL & MONEY Conference: Head of Exxon Mobil, Lee Raymond, Comes to London

As part of an oil industry conference and back slapping exercise, Lee Raymond will be at The Inter-Continental Hotel, Park Lane London 4th –5th November.
Raymond will receive an award at Claridges Hotel on November the 4th for being the most unscrupulous and barefaced liar of them all (or petroleum executive of the year, as they prefer to call it).

Sickenly, the conference theme is “Shaping a course for a Fragile World”!!

Other attendees include representatives of all your favourite oil companies and drillers like Shell and Halliburton, not to mention the US appointed Iraqi Minister for Oil.

Themes of the conference include “Iraq: Bonanza or Turmoil?”

There is to date no organized demonstration, anyone interested should get into affinity groups and have a look at the Intercontinental and Claridges.

If nothing else, this should give us some practice for the Bush visit – maybe even put him off coming?

Meanwhile in Birmingham 16th –18th November British Fat Cats will be congratulating themselves on making lots of money from cheap labour and natural resources.
