Byron goes royal

Media speculation is rife that former All Black Byron Kelleher may be romantically involved with Princess Charlene of Monaco. Spanish newspaper ABC ignited the flame at the weekend with a report that the wife of Prince Albert II did not accompany her husband to the coronation of the new Dutch King Willem-Alexander two weeks ago because she was in her native South Africa with Kelleher. So what? If Byron is romantically involved with a princess, good for them. Now onto something not so good: BP has warned that millions of dollars of "fictitious" compensation claims for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill are putting the company at risk. The group has sought an injunction to stop payouts to companies which its argues are claiming fraudulent or inflated losses from its 8.2 billion US dollar (£5.4 billion) compensation pot. Reports said an appeal document recently filed by BP in the US courts argues that businesses from the Gulf coast have been handed millions of dollars for "non-existent, artificially calculated losses". This is just Big Oil being Big Oil. BP are still not taking any responsibility for their part in the oil spill. They shouldn't have drilled there, maybe then they wouldn't be in this mess.
