‘Independent’ TV channel in GB. Doubtless willing to be a stenographer. British reaction, so far, has been toward the ‘home team’. Methinks their reaction would be quite different if BP had pulled this cock-up (as they say) in the North Sea, and oil was washing up on the white cliffs of Dover (they’re actually pretty high, but you get the idea).
British press, I have found ruefully, has to be taken with [I][U]large[/U][/I] grains of salt.
