Shell gives Back....

category national | anti-capitalism | opinion/analysis author Wednesday June 24, 2009 16:21author by paul o tooleauthor email pauljotoole at eircom dot net Report this post to the editors

Generous Multinationals...stop giving out about them

Today FM today announced a quiz on the Tony Fenton Show in the afterrnoon. Answer a question (what country is BMW Mercedes and Volkswagen manufactured) and if you answer correctly you could be the lucky person to take part in a head to head quiz at the end of the show......
The winner of the head to head quiz will win a weekend in the luxurious Ashford Castle all expenses paid including a champaign reception, full Irish breakfasts and dinner in 5 star surroundings with penthouse accomodations.

Shell- or topaz as they convieniently call themselves now- offer to pay transport costs to the lucky winner in the form of a€100 fuel voucher. I know that they have accepted 560 billion dollars of Irelands natural resource. Gas, handed to them by former taoiseach Bartholemew Aherne (an act of treason i believe) for nothing.
This roughly ammounts to about €100,000 stolen from every citizen of this state. But in these tough times i believe we all should tighten our belts and mabey Shell are also taking measures by restraining their budget with regard to promotions on Radio.....
Megan and Tom were the finalists....Tony wanted to know 'what factor of suntan oil are you lobbing on' ...an ironic end to a quiz for Shell oil company...the richest copporation on the planet...
God luck to Tom on your win....enjoy the prize from Topaz/Shell who dont mind killing, maming, bombing, Destroying ecology, or even attempting to kill Irish fishermen while they sleep, or bribing politicians to pervert An Garda Siochana to attack their own peaceful citizens trying to go about their business.
Enjoy.
I guess my 6 texts at 30c each diddnt rate in Today FM....ah theres always next time....
