Since BP's misguided green shift to go 'beyond petroleum' its share price has flatlined while those of its oil-loving competitors have rocketed. Yet its former CEO Lord Browne still won't change his tune, says Tilak Doshi.

Fast British PAtrol Boat 'Brave Borderer' - not fast enough for Richard Behal in 1966
That was 1965 and his colleagues went "bloody bananas" because of what he had done.
He has a point about Section 3,1 besides television licenses are a joke these days considering the amount of ads on RTE.
If RTE had their way they would bring back the Wireless License.
Because of RTE's blatently pro EU lisbon referendum stance. They have been strongly pushing in their coverage for a second referendum to bully the people into reversing their vote a few months ago voting yes. They are supposed to be a state service but are definitely not impartial. All independent indymedia activists should fefuse to pay their rotten licence fee, and dont forget they are raking in big bucks on advvertising revenue as well as the licence.
You are banned, and now we plan to misrepresent you - what RTE did not say, they did.
You are a banned person in this election - RTE's message to Richard Behal in 1984
Every year I get a threatening letter from the licensing authority about not having a TV license. Every year I reply telling them that as I don't have a TV, would not be interested in having one, even if they gave it to me and would only give it away if they did; because I don't happen to like the energy that they give off. Why should I buy a license for something I don't have ?
I never receive an apology for their false accusation, because I don't believe anyone reads my replies or perhaps they are just to dumb to understand plain English.
Television is an intrusion into the home and constant watching of their programmes allows the watcher to be slowly brain washed by commerce into wasting money on frivolous items.
As for RTE they can't even run a decent internet news channel, it's always full of old material. Any one of the lads that write on indy could make a better job of the site.
Fair pay to Mr Behal for this jester against state censorship (RTE Authority). I dont watch TV as its like being a sheep lock in a pen eating rotting straw.
Its some situation where you are a criminal if you don't choose to be a television spectator
STOP PRESS - case moved 20 miles to Tralee and then 45 miles to Kenmare without notice to defendant

Due to the change of venue not notified to Richard Behal in good time, the Judge agreed to Richard Behal's proposal that the case be deferred. The appeal against Behal’s conviction for non-possession of a television licence will be heard on February 1 2009.
Good luck to you in your on going crusade and remember ''Justice Should Never Have Time Constraints ''

British Ambassador complains about Richard Behal on RTE Late Late Show with Gay Byrne - April 1968 - 42 years ago
Didn't hear Richard on RTE radio promoting the programme !!??
Maybe different rules operate now - I'd hate to think he was censored.
Good luck Richard
I can pick up television stations on my iPhone.
RTE have decided not to demand TV licences from smartphone users.
The trouble is.
My iPhone is "A television reception apparatus" as defined in the law.
RTE are breaking the law when they refuse to demand a licence from me.
.
Everybody in the country can refuse to pay their TV licence when RTE refuses to collect TV licences from iPhone owners.
.
Why should any one have to pay for a TV license? After all, when you pruchased your TV, they'r e was no notice to say that you had to buy one or even that is law. I too have never held a TV license and never shall. AnPost have not heard all the excuses, because they have never brought me to court for not having one. I give great excuses at the door..........."no, thats me, goodnight"....... "Do I have to purchase a televison if I but TV license stamps?"...............I've had enough of fear mongering from the elite who run my country and profit at our expense. Ireland is a free country.
