Will the Gulf oil spill affect the US - UK ties?
No, hopefully not. It will however, affect the US relationship with the corporation, British Petroleum. In the short term people who are angry over this disaster and the response to it will look for as many people, governments and corporations as possible to blame. This is causing a lot of pain and suffering which always makes people look for easy targets and scapegoats. Most thinking people in the US know that the British people and British government are not to blame, it is the cost-cutting, unsafely managed corporation who are blamed.

Has the oil spill in the gulf of Mexico been capped?
The deployment of the LMRP was on 2010 June 3. It was completed on June 5th, 2 days later.
Second CapA second cap was deployed on 2010 July 12, and was finished capping the oil spill on July 15. Tests are currently being done to determine it's stability; the tighter cap appears to have contained all leaks from the top of the pipe, but oil was found to be seeping from the ocean floor, indicating damage to the lower oil pipe.Due to the lack of complete closure from the cap, BP will attempt to plug the well, using heavy mud and concrete.
How could the BP oil spill have been avoided?
There were reports that the company cut corners on maintaining part of the equipment. If those reports are true, doing that maintenance may have prevented the spill.
