How can they justify the prices at the pumps and the sacking of 5,000 more staff with that kind of profit

Hayward's warning left BP's 15,000 UK workforce fearing the chop.

It came as the multinational announced profits leapt 39 per cent to £18.1billion last year.

The results, made on the back of sky-high prices at the petrol pumps, follow rival Shell's £22billion profit last year - the most money made by a European company in business history.

My company announced not dissimilar profits, but pay freezed everyone - except those getting the chop.

Its common business practice now.
