They're not using that name anymore? I didn't even think about it, because I keep seeing the name everywhere--places like this and this. And there's this ironic job offer.
I promise, the idea that the UK was responsible for the oil spill because of the name of the company never entered my mind, not even once. No offence against the UK was ever intended. I was just mentioning the name of a company--there are zillions of companies whose names contain the names of countries--and I just think of them as companies. And I'll change it because I honestly don't mean (or want) to misrepresent.
If any country is at fault, it's the US for not having failsafes in place by law, not to mention that we Americans are more addicted to oil than any other people, and we keep not doing anything at all about it.
