This is excellent. The Sunday Times wrote an article outlining how Mark Thatcher and his cohorts were going to run Equatorial Guinea as a private colony managed by an old style colonial company.
Insight: Coup plotters wanted colony of their own
THE FAILED coup attempt involving Sir Mark Thatcher was to have made Equatorial Guinea a private colony run for the benefit of the British plotters, leaked documents reveal.
The papers, passed to The Sunday Times by South African intelligence sources, reveal that the plotters had created a trading company to control the oil-rich West African state.
The Bight of Benin Company (BBC), named after the bay on the state’s coastline, was to have grabbed control of the country’s economy, its oil reserves, army and police.
The company would have controlled the country as a private fiefdom, modelled on the British East India Company, which ran vast swathes of India before it formally became part of the empire.
Not to be confused by facts, a British BBC (as in the broadcasting folks) bashing blogger has decided that this should should be brought to the attention of the world.
Surely some mistake? 
LOL! I have heard that the BBC is looking for new sources of external funding
I’d love to reply to the guy, but alas he runs a closed blog with no anonymous comments. I can’t be arsed registering (even if it only takes ’3 minutes’) so I’ll just have to sit here and snipe.
It’s great, isn’t it?
I am itching to see the new version of Ballamory, live from the Bight of Benin. Little Scottish village begone, we’ve got a country to use now! Hehe..
