Shell Job Application Farce

Gripesites: How to Gut Goliath by Becoming an Interactive Hub of Dissent
By John Donovan GRIPE WEB SITES At long last, someone has written an invaluable guide on how ordinary individuals can publicly criticize the rich and powerful, including multinational corporations, by using the Internet.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST: The Corrib Gas controversy
EXTRACTS FROM “ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST” BY LORNA SIGGINS FROM THE FOREWORD (BY FINTAN O’TOOLE) Though theoretically citizens in a liberal democracy, those who have stood in the way of the exploitation of the Corrib gas field by a consortium led by Shell found themselves with very little protection from their own [...]
Story linking Shell with Jewish skin lamp shades is gutter press
POSTING ON SHELL BLOG BY “LONDONLAD” SAT 28 JAN 2012 I am afraid that there clearly is very little news (i.e. aspects of Shell’s work) for the Donovan’s to rant on about recently. A great deal is re-printed as though it’s new but is merely old stories and anti-Shell propoganda that is old history. Yes, [...]
Malaysian Judge told Shell that they should sue John Donovan in the UK

Natural resources they havent gone away you know
Friday, 07 October 2011 Liamy MacNally The days are getting shorter and the lawyers are tripping over themselves in the noontime darkness. Their cathedral minds are busy. The Four Courts silver spoon still shines with looming cases. The law does not always bring justice, even if the ladder of law has no top or no [...]
Banter with Michiel Brandjes of Royal Dutch Shell Plc
By John Donovan On Friday I sent an email to Mr Michiel Brandjes (right), Company Secretary & General Counsel Corporate of Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
