It is our job to work for the government of the day and so that means working for Gordon Brown as Prime Minister, and we need to do those preparations just to be sure that we're ready for whoever you, the British public, elect and that's core to our civil service values over the last 150 years. ↗

The oil companies are regulated by the federal government. They can't drill on land nor in American waters without permission from the feds.
