A Tale Of Two Cities

Plan B Consulting

There are two stories that I would like to write about today. The stories are at either side of the Atlantic and have been dominating the news all week. In the USA, the news has been about the tornado, which hit Oklahoma and horrifyingly killed 24 people. In the UK, the news has been about the “terrorist” attack which tragically killed the Army Drummer Lee Rigby.

You Can’t Win!

Plan B Consulting

Highlighted in the news, was an article about BP asking David Cameron to raise the issue of the compensation that they were having to pay to companies for the Deep-Water Horizon disaster with the US government. BP are claiming that the compensation package is being abused, and that they may have to put aside more than the £5.2bn agreed in 2012. Whatever the merits of this case, the issue of compensation after an incident is very difficult.

The Emperor’s New Clothes

Plan B Consulting

The story that has been dominating the news this week was the release of the three women in the City of Cleveland. They had been abducted and held captive for ten years! Their story is both joyous and truly disturbing. Joyous for the families who have their daughters back when they had given them up for dead. It is so disturbing that one human can do this to another, and that Ariel Castro, the alleged kidnapper had managed to carry this on for so long and why neighbours and the police never real
