Remember Tony Hayward of BP oil "spill" fame? Karma train got him.

He who complained he wanted his life back during the height of the BP mess, and was later.....re-assigned....from public eye?

Well, he "left" BP ( under a dark greasy oil cloud)
and was chosen to be Chairman of Glencore Company in 2013, over the complaints of Glencore investors.

One institutional investor has sold off its entire holding in the business over concerns that Hayward
– the former boss of BP who was forced out of the oil multinational in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico four years ago
– is to take over as chairman of the company created through the controversial merger of Glencore and Xstrata.

Glencore’s shares have been pummeled by concerns that the world’s largest copper supplier and thermal coal exporter may struggle to safeguard its credit rating in light of its heavy debt burden, which is among the highest in the industry.

He left that disaster with people mourning and suffering and animals and birds dying to be at the opening test match of the season - the quintessential display of utter indifference by member of the English elite.

I wrote him off as a human being that day...he's a despicable scumbag.
