Michael McCarthy So far BP has pronounced the right difference but the actions will be totalled now

"We are responsible, not for the accident, but we are obliged for the oil and for traffic with it and cleaning [it] up," BPs arch senior manager Tony Hayward pronounced yesterday. It will come as no joy to the fishermen confronting hurt from the slick, and no assistance at all to the wildlife confronting a slow genocide since of it, but BP might be removing the open family plan right. Or at least, not removing it wrong.

Mr Haywards matter obeyed order No.1 for a organisation which, without delay or not, has caused an eventuality that has angry the public: dont quibble.

BP had leased the supply from the Swiss owners, Transocean. Yesterday Mr Hayward placed shortcoming for the brief resolutely at Transoceans door, observant that the apparatus caused the spill. Guy Cantwell, a Transocean spokesman, responded by saying: "We will await all the contribution prior to sketch conclusions and we will not speculate."

BP has taken on the chin the own piece in classification out what might spin out to be the greatest oil mess in history. But in truth, it has small choice. Were it to action otherwise, it would find American annoy magnified a hundred-fold, as US calm with BP has ragged thin after a array of industrial accents, such as the 2005 blast at the Texas City refinery, and spills from the Alaska tube in 2006.

However, in usurpation sum shortcoming for the clean-up, that could cost as most as $14bn (�9.2bn), BP has at slightest stopped digging in the hole in that it finds itself, and avoided the new PR disasters of Toyota and Goldman Sachs. Last year Toyota played down the complaint of potentially deadly inadequate accelerators and declined to take shortcoming for weeks, call a tellurian waves of criticism. Goldman one after another to compensate staff outrageous bonuses notwithstanding reception US state aid, and has been seen to be operative opposite the own clients, but has appeared not to register the heated open rancour this is bringing down on the head.

To prove the critics, BP will have to do some-more than only take responsibility. It will have to purify up the oil, fast and with no responsibility spared, down to the last tarball in the last Louisiana tidal creek.
