Bloomberg: Russia Postpones Decision on BP Unit’s License, Interfax Says

Shellwatcher: I just read the MP's demand from Google to take websites that spread lies and hate from the Internet. I presume this will mean the end of this site. REPLY BY JOHN DONOVAN: "Shellwatcher" is but one of many aliases used by this person, who most often posts under the alias "uscitizen". The use of multiple aliases is meant to deceive us and other visitors. He does not have enough courage to make postings under his real name and is totally lacking in scruples and integrity. He should use the alias "troll". A thoroughly unpleasant devious individual.

DOJ: Interested parties to this site should review how Shell is participating in the RINS market each day. They are actively hedging buying and selling with the intent to take profits. This is driving the costs of RINS up and ultimately the cost of gasoline and diesel up. This is right in line with the price fixing allegations currently underway. All you have to do is analyze the buying and selling patterns to see the real Shell.

Releived: John: Just for grins you might want to post a link to Shell's business principles. We need to be reminded what an ethical company RDS really is. This latest portrayal by petty government bureaucrats looking to make a name and career for themselves, at RDS expense, and shameless media outlets pursuing mega- advert $$$ is simply scandalous !!! Scandalous, I say !!! Something must be done to shut this nefarious and slanderous behavior down !!!

Outsider: With the EU raids and discovery for the US legal action, there could be a lot of dirty linen finding its way into the public domain over the next few months

Relieved: The market for refined petroleum products, including gasoline and diesel fuel, is now an international market. The US exports a great deal of diesel and gasoline to Europe. As a result I fully expect this investigation over market manipulation to expand to the US because the exportation of excessive amounts of refined product, or the apparent exportation of excessive amounts of refined product, can cause price hikes here in the States.

Blessing: Hmmmm. BP,and Shell are partners in Crime. I now imagine why BP filled Amicus Brief in support of Shell in Kiobel v Shell at Supreme court in America

Relieved: USCitizen: So glad you are back. Things were getting to be a bit boring and one-sided with only LondonLad to hold down the fort for RDS.

Outsider: Relieved: Neither Watts, nor vd Veer nor Voser had the good fortune to spend a few years in Cambridge with Lord Madingley of Boots and Coots fame. I think Moody Stuart might have done...

uscitizen: I have not absconded John, just do not have time to waste or breath to waste on folks with a clear biased agenda. Folks who take any data and use it to build their already determined conlcusion. Later - much too busy trying to get my retirement paid for by contractors taking me to lunch twice a year, man these perks are awesome!! Again - get a life.

Relieved: Maybe we ought to start calling RDS and BP management the 'Cambridge Boys Club' or perhaps the 'Cambridge Mafia'. No ?? Just a thought. Anybody else have any ideas, aside from the usual obscenities.
