Shell ditches the Dutch, moves to London in share structure overhaul

• Royal Dutch Shell said on Monday it would scrap its dual share structure and move its head office to Britain from the Netherlands, pushed away by Dutch taxes and facing climate pressure in court as the energy giant shifts from oil and gas.
• The Anglo-Dutch firm has been in a long-running tussle with the Dutch authorities over the country’s 15% dividend withholding tax, which Shell sought to avoid paying with its two share classes. Its new structure would resolve that issue.
• The Dutch government said on Monday it was “unpleasantly surprised” by Shell’s plans to move to London from The Hague.

Royal Dutch Shell said on Monday it would scrap its dual share structure and move its head office to Britain from the Netherlands, pushed away by Dutch taxes and facing climate pressure in court as the energy giant shifts from oil and gas.

The company, which long faced questions from investors about its dual structure and had recently been hit by a Dutch court order over its climate targets, aims to drop “Royal Dutch” from its name – part of its identity since 1907 – to become Shell Plc. read more

The worst company ever

I got broadband with them and have had nothing but trouble from the start they scammed me their customer service is the worst I’ve ever had to handle. Don’t waste your time go elsewhere avoid at all costs

Disgraceful and unapologetic Customer Service for errors

The Broadband provision was fine and during my contract term I only needed to contact Customer Service once, which was when I found it not the easiest company to contact and slow to respond. BUT my big problems started when I invoked my right to switch provider at the end of my minimum contract term. read more

A massive anonymous effort is underway to kill or hack my royaldutchshellplc.com website.

According to Jetpack Monitoring, 1,772,611 total blocked brute force attacks were made on the website between Oct 9, 2021 – Nov 8, 2021.

We can only speculate on who might have the motive and any prior form to take such sinister action against a non-commercial entirely free to use highly informative website?

Shell has used cloak and dagger activity against my Shell focussed websites several times, as recently as July 2021. read more

A concentrated anonymous effort is underway to kill or hack our shellnazihistory.com website.

There is clearly malicious intent. 

According to Jetpack Monitoring, a bombardment of almost 50,000 *total blocked brute force attacks were made on the website Shell Nazi History .com in the last month. See Jetpack screenshot below.

We can only speculate on who might have the motive and any prior form to take such sinister action against a non-commercial entirely free to use highly informative website? The site includes undisputed evidence from Shell’s own files, that Shell’s support for the Nazis resulted in the deaths of Shell employees. read more

Extracts:

The Royal Dutch Shell (LSE: RDSB) share price used to be a staple holding for income investors. That was until the company cut its dividend last year for the first time since the Second World War.

Volatile oil prices have always been a risk for the enterprise. In the past, the group’s size and diversification has helped it manage this uncertainty. However, I think the threat of climate change now presents an even more considerable risk for the company and one that could jeopardise its very existence. read more

Unfortunately, the integrity of Wikipedia is corrupted by a policy allowing the anonymous editing of articles.

This fundamental flaw allows articles to be potentially sanitized of any facts embarrassing to a featured subject e.g. an evil oil giant

Larry Sanger, the co-creator of Wikipedia, has recently expressed similar misgivings about how Wikipedia has changed for the worse in recent years. He claims that it has been ruined.

Sanger identifies “anonymous contribution” as being detrimental to the accuracy of online information, which he rightly says is open to corruption by governments, corporations, spies and criminal organisations. He goes on to say that they know how to play the Wikipedian game. Sanger is now embarrassed by Wikipedia and has become its most prominent critic. read more

THE WORST ENERGY PROVIDER I HAVE EVER…

THE WORST ENERGY PROVIDER I HAVE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH.
We advised Shell that our tenant had moved out and provided dates, meter number, meter readings, the name and address who will be responsible for the bill after the tenant moved out. We even sent pictures of the meter.

Simple you would think. Not only are we receiving debt collection letters demanding that we pay for the previous tenants bill, it turns out they had the moved the tenant to the flat next door and they are now chasing us for that too. read more

Don’t waste your time trying to navigate Shell’s system

Took over Shell from previous owner of my flat. This is not my primary home. Gave Shell correspondence address which it did not use and then Shell placed a note on my otherwise unblemished credit rating that I delayed paying my bill ( sent to the wrong address ) Set up direct debit.

Continue to be asked to submit meter readings because of COVID.

Cannot get Shell system to work ( online or app ) even to recognise I have an account / register the account. read more

I have never had such an inconsistent…

I have never had such an inconsistent broadband service.

Devices constantly disconnect and its been a nightmare.

I feel like my consumer rights are not being met…

I have asked to cancel and been asked to pay off the year left on my contract!

Absolutely awful customer service and not what I’m paying for.

Would never recommend and am really disappointed all around… Never had any problems like this with any other provider read more

STAY AWAY

Don’t sign up with this lot.

For over a year and a half I have had issues with them. Now again today it has been the 5th time an engineer did not show up to replace my IHD.

It is 1 thing after another, never can get things organised and sorted properly.

Insanely bad customer service and if I may add, daily standing charges are through the roof.

Choose another supplier if you can!!!!

Good riddance to Shell Energy Broadband

Shell energy broadband is the worst

Shell energy broadband is the worst. I kept receiving debt email which I complained about and initially they did not understand either why I am continuously being charged for a service I terminated before the next billing month.

Then they said about early termination fee which I contested that I was with you since July 2019 for an 18 months contract when I had left June 2021. read more

Shell’s failed blundering attempt to kill my royaldutchshell.website

By John Donovan (last updated 5 Sept 2021)

Last week, a CYBERSECURITY INTELLIGENCE outfit acting for Shell issued a 5-day ultimatum on behalf of Shell to the company hosting my royaldutchshell.website.

I would not have had a clue about the ultimatum letter if the hosting company had not tipped me off about what was going on behind my back at Shell’s direction.

For 26 years, I have used the Internet as a medium to criticise and expose Shell’s unscrupulous dishonest activities, including, for example, the Shell securities fraud that ruined Shell’s reputation. read more

EMAIL ABOUT OIL SECTOR CORRUCTION IN NIGERIA SENT TO SHELL CEO MR BEN VAN BEURDEN, 25 JUNE 2021

-By Zik Gbemre  

WITH THE LEVEL OF CORRUPTION STILL PERVADING THE OIL SECTOR, NIGERIAN POLITICIANS HAVE STILL NOT LEARNT THE VANITY OF MATERIAL POSSESSION – THE NEED FOR THEM TO HAVE A RETHINK, AND FOR ANTI-GRAFT AGENCIES TO TAKE ACTION  

• The mind-boggling allegation of high-profile corruption in the sale of 57 marginal fields involving the Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva; Buhari’s nephew, Mamman Daura; Sarki Auwalu; Sabiu Yusuf (aka Tunde); Sarki Abba and others, should be thoroughly investigated by anti-graft agencies… 
• It is sad how many people have made that piece of paper called money, to become their masters, and they the slaves of it… 
• The sacred values like hard work, diligence, honesty and integrity that once held our society together, have all been replaced… Leaving our societies decaying daily without us even realizing it… 

For as long as I can remember, the subject of high-profile corruption amongst Nigeria’s political class, is one that has continued to get worse, despite all the so-called fight against corruption by the past and present Governments. And it is one problem that has continued to deprive the majority of the Nigerian populace from having access to the dividends of democracy, and has kept the nation perpetually underdeveloped, while those in the political space have continued to feed fat to the detriment of all. read more

Replica of the Wikipedia article: royaldutchshellplc.com

As Wikipedia editors are aware, my father Alfred Donovan passed away in 2013. Since there are a number of references to him in the above Wikipedia article, I provided proof in the form of a Guardian newspaper article about Shell that mentioned his death, hoping the information would be updated. 

Strange tale of Shell’s pipeline battle, the Gardaí and £30,000 of booze

However, the several years out of date information remains and the supply of the information politely supplied triggered a negative response within 20 minutes. read more
