No, dude. You get that money and publicly announce you’ll finance whatever MP wants to impose regulations on oil.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
Yup. This is a better idea.
Take their money, publicly tell them to fuck off while donating it to a cause that go against them.
This Baillie Gifford controversy is nuts. They are one of the largest investment companies in terms of backing renewable energies and they invest way fewer funds than their competitors in fossil fuels.
Arts festivals like the Edinburgh Book Festival have been browbeaten by these grandstanding authors into removing them as a sponsor but the only repercussions we're going to see is the event being reduced in scale in coming years. The government is not going to step in and take their place and there's no viable alternative source of money other than the private sector.
