Royal Dutch Shell and BP among FTSE 100’s worst performers
With the oil price recovering to around $50 a barrel, it may come as a surprise that Royal Dutch Shell and BP were among some of the FTSE 100's worst performers. Royal Dutch Shell lost 18pc to £14.14 and BP retreated 15pc to 446p. In part, this is because this City is worried about slowing production and that they, too, may be forced to cut their dividends. BP has already signalled it will freeze its dividend.

The current Shell leadership – “mediocrity is the best they can achieve”

The recent “Financial Times” report about Shell has received publicity here and elsewhere but it deserves further wide circulation so I have posted an extract below.
I was in touch with a former very senior Shell man (now retired) this week and he told me (I quote):
“It is scandalous that the [Shell] ‘Leadership’ voted themselves such huge salaries and bonuses. As XXX put it, they pay themselves something like an order of magnitude more than the directors of 10 to 15 years ago. I would mind less if they were a little more than mediocre, but … mediocrity is the best they can achieve.”

Dear CCR Supporter,
On May 26, 2009, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), co-counsel EarthRights International (ERI), and other human rights attorneys will bring oil giant Shell to federal court in New York for the start of a landmark trial for corporate accountability. CCR is pleased to make two exciting announcements as we draw nearer to the trial: we are launching a short film developed by CCR and ERI titled The Case Against Shell, and a new website, <www.WiwavShell.org>.
Deal lets Suncor sell Shell fuel in Colorado

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.
