Brits criticize US hostility toward BP

For weeks since the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico began, BP has been pilloried by the American public, press, and government alike. But across the Atlantic, a different sort of fury is brewing. British politicians and investors are bristling at what they see as U.S. attacks on BP, formerly called British Petroleum.

The BBC’s Lucy Hooker has the latest from London.
