I stand corrected, though in the world of multinational companies that's a pretty technical point: I'm sure they would be registered in the Cayman Islands if it suited them better.

Having said that, I hear America's insistence that BP's to blame, so it must pay every last cent it takes to restore the environment, the economy and people's livlihoods, and I wonder what pressure is being put on the Dow Corporation - a US company - to stop the pollution, and to clean up the environment in Bhopal, and to restore people's livlihoods there, more than 25 years after the disaster caused by their Union Carbide subsidiary.
