Cameron now has taken over from Brown and Blair, so now it is his heritage. Like Obama is being made responsible for faults and failures casued by Bush'S adminustration.
BP must be dealt with in an exemplary way - to teach other companies that if they mess up security for short termed profit hopes and savings, the same fate like BP is possibly facing (getting destroyed over the finajcial costs of this disaster) is waiting for them. Of course, the politically unlegitimised massive lobbying of the oil lobby, that way interfering with legislation and law making at the cost of the community, also must be cracked down on. The way lobbyism these days erodes poltical legitmiation by voters, policy making and legislation, compares to what bone cancer is for an organism - you cannot see it, but it kills the organism from it's very inner core.
