Browne - the plot thins

This is interesting. Yesterday, I asked who had advised Lord Browne to pursue his suicidal injunction. Was it all his own idea? Did he get the idea from some of his political chums? Or did the company's media operation suggest it?

Now BP are making it clear to Comment Central that not only did they not suggest it, not only did they not approve it, they actively told Lord Browne that it was a mistake and that he shouldn't go ahead.

It would still be fascinating to discover who, presumably outside the company, did tell John Browne that he should press on.

Could it be Lord Browne's own idea to pursue the injunction?
I presume as a man who respects, abides and believes in justice system, Lord Browne believed that as long as he plays fairly by the law, he would be protected by the law.
To me, his further action proves that he is indeed a personality who reveres the law.
During his his moments of weakness (happen to all humans) where he committed prejury, he realised he had crossed that line and he resigned spontaneously and gracefully from his position at BP.
My triple cheers to Lord Browne, to make a mistake is human, but to acknowledge it spontaneously (and to pay for it dearly) is almost super-human in these days!
