BP Exec Gets The Boot: Another Woke Corp Bites the Dust?
Turns out 'go woke, go broke' might have a point, even in the oil bidness.

Alright, folks, buckle up, because the clown show at BP just got a whole lot funnier. Their chair, some dude named Albert Manifold, got the ol' heave-ho for “serious concerns” about governance and conduct. Translation: probably didn't virtue signal hard enough for the ESG mafia.
So, what happened? We don't know the juicy details, but the official line is “governance standards, oversight, and conduct.” My guess? He probably said something mildly based, like “oil is good,” and the woke mob descended faster than Greta Thunberg on a private jet. The share price tanked faster than Biden's approval rating, proving even the market is tired of this nonsense.
This Manifold character was only in the job for eight months, which is about how long it takes for the HR department to find a reason to fire you for WrongThink these days. He was brought in to refocus on fossil fuels, which, let's be honest, is what BP should be doing instead of building windmills that kill birds.
And who can forget Bernard Looney? Remember him? Kicked to the curb for not disclosing relationships? Seriously? Sounds like HR overreach to me. Now they're denying him £32 million. Probably going to use that cash to fund another diversity seminar.
Now we got Ian Tyler, some suit from Balfour Beatty, stepping in as interim chair. Expect more bland corporate speak and virtue signaling until they find someone even more woke to take the helm. The real question is, can BP pull its head out of its ESG butt and start making money again, or will it continue to bleed cash while lecturing us about our carbon footprint?
The whole thing smells like corporate virtue signaling gone wild. Instead of focusing on, you know, producing energy, they're busy chasing woke points and alienating half the country. And the market is finally starting to notice.
Maybe, just maybe, this is a sign that the pendulum is swinging back. Maybe people are starting to realize that energy independence and a functioning economy are more important than pronouns and carbon credits. But don't hold your breath.
Until then, I’ll be here, laughing at the dumpster fire while filling up my gas tank. Thanks, BP, for the entertainment. You’re doing great… at destroying shareholder value.
Remember, folks, resist the woke mind virus. Drill, baby, drill! And never apologize for being based.
This is just the beginning, folks. The reckoning is coming. Get your popcorn ready.
The question remains: will BP ever return to sanity, or will it continue its descent into woke oblivion? Only time will tell, but the signs aren't exactly encouraging.
