what is interesting there is the rules are divided which happens very rarely in a u.s. company. he is tony hayward s boss and he have the right to fire him if he wants if he brings the board around that. i think that is the issue we see starting to come up. you know, i mean, you ve got why are you laughing? you ve got this tension between great britain and this tension between the united states. i know where you re going. it was 1-1. soccer? 1-1. sometimes you think bp has it right there. they think, it goes right past them. was tony hayward in that? tony hayward was in the net. he had oil on his hands. didn t you feel sorry for that goalie? i felt so sorry for that guy. can i just say, chrystia, seriously, i felt really bad for this guy because what americans don t understand, a lot of them watching and my son was calling me up and we were just talking
and what s more, if you want them to fix it and they are the only ones with the expertise, i think i might wait to look to assign blame until we get it fixed. i don t want them focusing the lawyers. i want them sure. but, unfortunately, it s not hey, one person or one party or one branch of government. we re looking at everybody. there has to be somebody who is culpable in everything. come on. okay. well, i think it s kind of an interesting position to take. chrystia? do you think it was a calculated political position or the mayor s instincts? i think his instincts are interesting for us, when we see an issue with a big, rich multinational company, we tend to see ourselves as the little guy. i think the mayor genuinely puts himself in the position of the ceo. could be calculated himself. when you get $20 million it s hard to put yourself in the position of the little guy. i he feels for tony hayward. his natural let s just say, i mean, no,
