    Nice to see BP in there with a significant investment,

    but they will have to avoid being nationalised or taken over by Argentina and the state-owned YPF if they strike it rich.

    ... The British, the French, the USA and the Chinese - everybody, but everybody, is trying to stop Argentina going tits-up.

    I hope they appreciate the help that the world's big businesses are giving them, and do not get upset about multinational company profits going out of the country.
