Record Oil Profits For Shell, BP

I hope this makes your day, Americans.

About time to wake up to the shit-shovel, wouldn't you say?

You wanna grab that bucket of tar, or....


"Pump prices lift Shell and BP to record £7.2bn"

"BP and Royal Dutch Shell have reported massive increases in profits for the first three months of this year on the back of rocketing petrol prices, which are expected to hit £5 a gallon today.

BP's pre-tax profits rose 48 per cent in the first quarter to $6.6 billion (£3.3 billion) while Shell increased its profits 12 per cent to a record $7.8 billion (£3.9 billion).

The increase has been driven by the rising oil prices, which the companies have passed on to consumers in the form of higher petrol and diesel costs...."

That's what is known as PRICE-GOUGING!

That shit taste good, 'murka?!
