Suddenly the air is thick with calls for windfall taxes on energy companies, particularly as oil giants BP and Shell are reporting massive profits.
August 3rd, 2008:
Don’t make the consumer pay for these inflated fuel prices
Oil giants muscle in on Origin deal
Shell and BP have both approached Origin Energy about its coal seam gas assets, a move that could scupper BG Group's A$13.8bn (£6. 5bn) hostile bid for the Australian energy firm.
Fuel-bills hike lights Scotland’s touchpaper
It is the plight of people such as McDonald that has prompted the government to consider imposing a windfall tax on energy companies, which are continuing to reap massive profits while the cost of their products soar. Despite warnings from business groups, including the Confederation of British Industry, that such taxes could add to instability in the economy and reduce the budgets available for investment in renewables, Gordon Brown may have no choice. Beleaguered by a series of election defeats and the subject of plotting by disaffected members of his own cabinet, there appears little doubt the prime minister will yield to public outrage.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
