RussiaToday — June 22, 2010 — Greenpeace gate-crashed the World National Oil Companies Congress in London, just as the BP company's speaker was making his address. BP executive Steve Westwell was heckled during his speech at the conference, where he was standing in for embattled chief executive Tony Hayward. "Because BP is incapable of telling you the truth, I'm going to tell you what you need to know," Greenpeace's Emma Gibson told the audience at the Grange St Paul's hotel in The City. Another Greenpeace campaigner, Katie Swan, got on stage with a banner reading "Go beyond petroleum," a take on BP's slogan.

1. Westwell is "sorry about that" - sorry about being heckled and interrupted

while saying HIS COMPANY has had a rough time.
