A woman has been badly burned after petrol ignited as she transferred it between containers in her kitchen.
Maude should have told the general public to stock up on postage stamps and pastys not fuel.
Think our government needs to come with a health warning

" So cabinet minister Francis Maude said on Wednesday morning that "a bit of extra fuel in a jerrycan is a sensible precaution to take" Sensible?

'Muppet Alert!! Muppet Alert!!' "That's not quite fair is it. The rest of the report does say that it is not known if the petrol stored was because of the looming fuel strike. You can't blame the govt for someone's stupidity in decanting petrol in the kitchen while the stove is lit.  | |||

"yeah i got to agree what a stupid suggestion by Maud,it turns out the fuel was for her daughter who had run out .She probably didnt think that the gas stoves pilot lights are permanatly lit,but that is the point isnt it ,not many people are trained in keeping volatile liquids...he gave no advice on where to store it etc..I mean who gives adhoc advice to the country to store 10 litres of fuel during a published drought as well as starting panic buying The man is an idiot..he was an idiot when he was my MP in the 80s and is still an idiot now. | |||

LMFAO listen to mr blue tinted glasses listen wishy it doesnt need spin from anyone to make the current lot look idiots. look at the virtually unanimous scream of disapproval on front pages today from the papers that backed him to become prime minister.
Editors clearly believe his government has mishandled matters ahead of the threatened strike by fuel tanker drivers, and they are not holding back.
"A fuel crisis made in Downing Street" (The Times); "Ministers blamed for fuel shambles as panic grows" (Daily Telegraph); Pandemonium at the pumps" (Daily Mail); "Time to stop the petrol panic" (Daily Express) and "Total panic" (The Sun).
The non-Conservative papers were scathing too: "Out-of-touch Tories: Everybody was kung fuel fighting" (Daily Mirror); "As petrol pumps run dry, the blame game begins: despair inside coalition over gaffe" (The Guardian); "Panic stations" (The Independent); "Britain is back in recession (i) and "This petrol panic doesn't add up" (Metro).
The ship is sinking and with Maud shooting holes in hull with his machine gun mouth ,no wonder ...trust me they dont need me to spin it ..lol | |||

"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah panic panic panic blame everyone ells but the tory coverment" so, tell me, did Maud hold the container that was being poured, or the one that was poured into? oh, thats right, she did it under her own valition. realy, you ant blame the government for EVERYTHING everyone does, otherwise lets empty the prisons, because its not thier faults they robbed, murdered or looted, its the government. you, my friend, have the reddest specs tht have ever been produced. | |||

"unbelievable idocy. how had she lived that long and not known petrol is combustible? almost as idiotic is the suggestion that it's maude's fault. Nothing wrong with keeping a jerrycan of fuel, it's up to you to not be so dimwitted as to not know what to do with it. I don't understand how a woman setting fire to herself cold ever be a politician's fault unless they were TOLD to set fire to themselves. honestly, some people should not be allowed to breed. including those on here who think that the govt should take all responsibility for people's actions and put warning signs everywhere and on everything." | |||

"the woman deserved everything she got, for being so stupid, end of, no matter what people tell us. she is my nomination for this years darwin awards." Its very simple... The woman is foolish for keeping a very volatile, dangerous and all round nasty liquid near her house in the first place. She is even more foolish for then decanting it in the same room as a naked flame. In her defence she probably didn't know that the fumes from petrol are flammable. However if Maude hadn't helped stoke the flames of this most artificial of crises by suggesting everyone fill up a jerry can of fuel she wouldn't of had it in the first place, nor would her daughter have been out of fuel (probably) if people wernt foolishly panicking. So yes some of the blame does lie at Francis Maude and the governments feet. And to the person ive quoted above... Have you ever suffered serious burns? I would suggest she got a fair bit more than she deserved there. If she lives she's likely to spend the rest of her life in some amount of pain and those burns are going to seriously hurt if they ever get too hot. I would suggest she's suffered for her mistakes, do you think Maude will suffer for his? Not likely. | |||

No im not arguing causation im arguing that the government has helped create a mountain out of a mole hill and needs to take its share of the responsibility for this crisis, Unite didn't tell people to keep petrol at home, nor like the government did it pour it all over her and set fire to it. There s a very high chance that there wont even be a strike, the threat has been enough to get people sat back around a table and even if there is a strike people will still have 7 days notice, how much of the fuel people are cramming into fuel tanks will be left in 7 days time? People listen to the government when they tell them to prepare themselves, even the ones that had the common sense to realise a strike was at the very closest 7 days away have to fill the tank up sometimes. | |||

a nanny state has NOTHING to do with police racism (or racosm) but more to do with the fact people seem unable to think for themselves, and rather than take responsibility (please tell me i spelt (or spelled) that correctly)for their own actions, blame a superfluous 3rd party, in this case, some random government minster."Calm down boy you'll give yourself a coronary. | |||

" When did Francis Maude give advice on safe petrol storage as opposed to useless advice on what to do in the event of a strike that hasn't been called?" once again, i say, they should have stayed quiet, yes, BUT, hardly a sackabe/hangable offence to expect the general public to have a modicum of common sense is it really? I dont know you, but i'm almost certain you wouldnt need to attend an H&S lesson before using, say, a circular saw, and ensuring you walk away with the same amount of fingers you started with. so surely it is comprehendable that you treat everyone the same in the hope they also have a similar amount of sense | |||

Not everyone is sensible, not everyone even appreciates there is a risk let alone understands it. That's what Maude should have taken into account before he gave that advice, even more so as there isn't even a strike planned. The collective government mouth ran before the brain fully engaged. Just because some people understand the dangers it doesnt mean everyone will. | |||
"unbelievable idocy. how had she lived that long and not known petrol is combustible? almost as idiotic is the suggestion that it's maude's fault. Nothing wrong with keeping a jerrycan of fuel, it's up to you to not be so dimwitted as to not know what to do with it. I don't understand how a woman setting fire to herself cold ever be a politician's fault unless they were TOLD to set fire to themselves. honestly, some people should not be allowed to breed." petrol isnt combustible...petrol fumes are | |||

"i have a cn of petrol in the shed, and have had since last summer. erm, im not on fire, havent blown up or died by sniffing it. i must be the exception to the rule i guess. "you'll be ok,you've got a piranha. | |||
"Its not common practice to store petrol in peoples garages/sheds/homes anymore, fuel is normally readily available at a petrol station." Really? Are you sure? So when I need half a pint of petrol for my motor mower or quarter of a pint for my chainsaw, I just nip to the garage and buy it? Is that what all my neighbours and the rest of the 60% with some kind of IC engined tools in the UK do? If you really believe that no one stores petrol in sheds and garages anymore, you really need to leave the house once in a while! Why must someone other than ourselves be responsible for our actions? I know that my insurance policy states I can store up to 10 litres of petrol in an appropriate container in an outbuilding! I took the trouble to find that out! Francis Maude did not say store great quantities, he said to store some fuel. It is up to each individual to make sure they comply with the law. Try telling a policeman that your mate said it was OK to drive without MOT or insurance.. Who gets nicked? YOU! | |||

Glad to see the course on patronising is going well!
You seriously only know one person with any kind of garden tool that uses petrol? Perhaps in "studentsville" there are loads of flats and no gardens, but in the real world...
Just to enlighten you, I never said people only buy petrol when their supply for tools is running low! I made the point that people do store petrol in sheds, garages and the like for garden equipment!
Far from being stupid (always happens when someone sees an argument slipping away..) I may be daft sometimes, but never stupid. The 60% came from a course I attended concerning the Health & Safety aspects of garden equipment and builders tools. It was for the Hire company I was running at the time (about 8 years ago) and I see no reason for the numbers to have decreased in that time. If anything, I would expect an increase as people became better off.
An individual is responsible for his or her own actions! As someone said elsewhere.. If you were told by Francic Maude to jump of a cliff, would you? | |||

No not a student, been there and done that had a bigger garden than i do now. I know you didn't say that, i said it about someone i know.... Fair enough i must obviously be acquainted only with people in the 40% that feel no need to keep petrol in cans in there shed. That is even more stupid an argument that the police/crime one. People dont worry about the fact there death may be in short supply they do worry however when government ministers start telling them not to panic theres plenty of fuel but just incase those nasty nasty trade unionists do strike...... | |||
"People defer to authority figures, if you do not believe that just look at the queses caused this week because a man in a suit said there would be a petrol shortage. People were saying on here how worried they wee despite the fact no strike had been called and any strike would have to give 7 days notice, they panicked becaue someone they assumed knew more than them told them there was a reason to. An authority figure said that storing petrol was ok, to many that will have covered H&S. The moment i heard his comment i did the worlds biggest face palm. He was irresponsible, although foot in mouth is the standard position for frankie boy. Should the woman have done it, no, but even on this thread ppl have said petrol is flammable, when it isnt, petrol fumes are the risk,so people clearly do not understand the risk. The laws on the storage of dangerous chemicals are complex, suggesting they be flouted for no reason was stupid...as stupid as decanting the petrol you had stored under government advice so your daughter could put it in her car. The panic was created to detract from the budget, so on the immediate level...saying something stupid, and a wider level the government bears moral responsibility." Spot on. That pretty much nails it. | |||

Pretty much what I would have said! Yes she was foolish to do what she did, and will pay for that for the rest of her life, BUT the worrying thing is that due to the advice of a person in authority there could be a number of people who are just as clueless about the correct way to store fuel with 10 litres of it sat in the cupboard under the stairs. I don't know enough about storing fuel, so I would never do it (or would read up on it first) but unfortunately we do have so many people in this country with absolutely no common sense at all who blindly follow instruction instead of using their brain...such as the idiots who blame Sat Nav for them ending up in a river because they haven't got the sense to see that the advice/instructions they're being given are open to interpretation depending on the situation. No he isn't directly responsible for her injuries, but he should have maybe suggested storing fuel 'in a safe manner', and maybe suggested somewhere to find advice on how to store it | |||
" and, before anyone says anything, there IS work out there. i have been offered 4 jobs in the last 3 days." Actually, there is not - and I happen to have several qualifications and have always found it easy to find work; if I were to look for it now (and from time to time it is wise to check one's value in the market of work) I would be lucky to find one. So my empathy goes out to all those who are trying to find work and are not able to. Having said that, I dont wish to troll the thread lol... so lets get back to the Muppets? | |||

"yeah i got to agree what a stupid suggestion by Maud,it turns out the fuel was for her daughter who had run out .She probably didnt think that the gas stoves pilot lights are permanatly lit,but that is the point isnt it ,not many people are trained in keeping volatile liquids...he gave no advice on where to store it etc..I mean who gives adhoc advice to the country to store 10 litres of fuel during a published drought as well as starting panic buying The man is an idiot..he was an idiot when he was my MP in the 80s and is still an idiot now. She was a colossal fool yet still you manage to twist it around so that it's the govt's fault. You should be a spin doctor for Ed the Red and his bunch of lefty cronies. LMFAO listen to mr blue tinted glasses listen wishy it doesnt need spin from anyone to make the current lot look idiots. look at the virtually unanimous scream of disapproval on front pages today from the papers that backed him to become prime minister.
Editors clearly believe his government has mishandled matters ahead of the threatened strike by fuel tanker drivers, and they are not holding back.
"A fuel crisis made in Downing Street" (The Times); "Ministers blamed for fuel shambles as panic grows" (Daily Telegraph); Pandemonium at the pumps" (Daily Mail); "Time to stop the petrol panic" (Daily Express) and "Total panic" (The Sun).
The non-Conservative papers were scathing too: "Out-of-touch Tories: Everybody was kung fuel fighting" (Daily Mirror); "As petrol pumps run dry, the blame game begins: despair inside coalition over gaffe" (The Guardian); "Panic stations" (The Independent); "Britain is back in recession (i) and "This petrol panic doesn't add up" (Metro).
The ship is sinking and with Maud shooting holes in hull with his machine gun mouth ,no wonder ...trust me they dont need me to spin it ..lol"Whats that got to do with some stupid bint decanting petrol out of a Jerry can...... in her kitchen....... with cooking going on and the hob lit...... into a glass jar (illegal)...... to put in her daughters car....... who had run out of petrol....... and didn't have the money to put any more in.......? It's not the governments fault that she was unbelievably stupid or that she couldn't just give the daughter £10 to put some petrol in herself. Lets see which arsewipe lawyer trys to get that to court. **And according to the papers, the woman had the fuel at home ANYWAY...... NOT bought because of the mass hysteria at the pumps..... but already had it.** If we start forcing idiot politicians to resign because of far more stupid general public........ this country is in REAL trouble | |||
" No he isn't directly responsible for her injuries, but he should have maybe suggested storing fuel 'in a safe manner', and maybe suggested somewhere to find advice on how to store it" Should we also tell people how to wipe their arses properly so that they don;'t get shit on their fingers? Or do we say that the government has a duty to explain it all so that they don't go and sue the makers of bog roll for not putting instructions on the fucking packet. EVERYONE knows petrol is flammable and you NEVER NEVER NEVER do anything with it near a flame. The stupid woman had her gas hob on. | |||
"Yet another case of blame everyone but the stupid person!! I heard the news story when said MP made the comment and it was immediately followed by someone saying that the fire brigade does not recommend storing petrol at home, so in fact the whole issue was dealt with within seconds This is just another case of political point scoring ( remember the whole Jeremy clarkson/strikers debacle??). Focusing on one half of a story instead of the while picture. And also, when exactly did we all stop being responsible for our own actions? Anyone with half a brain knows petrol is flammable, its why you are not allowed to smoke on a forecourt. Why would it stop being flammable when stored in your own home? It was a tragic accident, no more no less, its just that it happened around some hyped up rubbish about a fuel strike that hasn't even been called yet "petrol isnt flamable, it used to be common in garages to use open buckets of petrol to put out cigarettes...it is a way of getting the apprentices to shit themselves. | |||

I heard the news story when said MP made the comment and it was immediately followed by someone saying that the fire brigade does not recommend storing petrol at home, so in fact the whole issiue was dealt with within seconds This is just another case of political point scoring ( remember the whole Jeremy clarkson/strikers debacle??). Focusing on one half of a story instead of the while picture. And also, when exactly did we all stop being responsible for our own actions? Anyone with half a brain knows petrol is flammable, its why you are not allowed to smoke on a forecourt. Why would it stop being flammable when stored in your own home? It was a tragic accident, no more no less, its just that it happened around some hyped up rubbish about a fuel strike that hasn't even been called yet
petrol isnt flamable, it used to be common in garages to use open buckets of petrol to put out cigarettes...it is a way of getting the apprentices to shit themselves.
So how did she set on fire then "Keep up read the thread | |||
" No he isn't directly responsible for her injuries, but he should have maybe suggested storing fuel 'in a safe manner', and maybe suggested somewhere to find advice on how to store it Should we also tell people how to wipe their arses properly so that they don;'t get shit on their fingers? Or do we say that the government has a duty to explain it all so that they don't go and sue the makers of bog roll for not putting instructions on the fucking packet. EVERYONE knows petrol is flammable and you NEVER NEVER NEVER do anything with it near a flame. The stupid woman had her gas hob on." Shitty fingers are slightly less dangerous than improper storage of fuel. I'm not disagreeing that she was stupid, but the worrying thing is she isn't the only person out there who will be storing fuel without a proper understanding of the correct way to do it. Common sense should tell you not to mess with it in the kitchen, but that isn't the only unsafe way to store it around the home. There are rules and regulations around how to store it properly for a reason...all I'm saying is he should have suggested where to find these rules to keep the idiots from injuring themselves and possibly others. Even Cornflakes tell you how to store them properly...surely it's not asking too much to suggest that people store fuel correctly to prevent these kind of incidents when advising people who don't normally store it to do so? | |||

"I blame the education system. " Wounder if they be doing the same when teachers strike next. Goverment telling everyone to stock up on education lol. | |||
" There are some really smug people posting to this thread. The Government sends out a message to people to stock up on petrol at home. This gets people worried there will be a shortage, so queues start forming at petrol stations. This lady, her daughter's car runs out of petrol as result. So, following the government's advice, she decides to keep some petrol at home. The chain of events is pretty obvious. Predictable, too. And completely avoidable by any government with an ounce of competence. " The gov said to keep some in a jerry can.. not to keep some at home.. and in no way shape or form did they advise decanting it into another container... in your kitchen... with the gas oven on.... and her daughters car hadn't run out of fuel but she was worried it might... not the fault of the government.. no i don't think its right that they have incited panic.. but not their fault this woman was a complete imbecile | |||

"may i just say, not too long ago, the government said we should all get back to work. could i ask why there are still 3 million unemplyed if people do what the government tell them? and, before anyone says anything, there IS work out there. i have been offered 4 jobs in the last 3 days." *facepalm* | |||

"Right ok... this woman had her gas cooker on while she was decanting a highly flamable substance in her poorly ventilated kitchen.... i'm sorry but i don't think that was the fault of a minister saying that we should keep some fuel in a jerry can.... that was the fault of one womans blatant stupidity..." I thought it was the pilot light that was on, not that she was cooking tea! But that's part of the point...she didn't know what was safe when it came to having the fuel at home. She was foolish to be doing what she was doing, and has paid the price, but she will not be alone in not knowing how to store fuel safely. Suggesting people should store a Jerry Can should have been backed up by something as simple as 'in accordance with the rules on 'X' website'. Unfortunately not everyone in this world is blessed with common sense otherwise why would the bag of Dry Roasted Peanuts in my cupboard state very clearly on the 'Product Contains Nuts'...the vast majority if us would be expecting nuts in the bag, but the ones that think it may be filled with something else (who knows what!) are the ones that could potentially cause an innocent neighbour harm by having a couple of poorly stored cans of fuel in the same garage that they go into for a fag at night when the missus is in bed! | |||
"it's unbelievable in this day and age. that someone would feel the need to store petrol,anywhere near their house. jeez petrol is a highly combustible,and volatile,liquid. only an idiot would store it,outwith petrol stations,and refineries. what would drive anyone to store it in any other situation. did somebody say something hmmmm ????

"I store petrol at home (Shed) and 10's of thousands of people do.

" That's not quite fair is it. The rest of the report does say that it is not known if the petrol stored was because of the looming fuel strike. You can't blame the govt for someone's stupidity in decanting petrol in the kitchen while the stove is lit. " | |||

"What I want to know is why the government ignored their own advice. Cameron suggested motorists take the “sensible precaution” of topping up on petrol Maude advised drivers to fill up any spare jerry cans with petrol But the official position of the department of Energy was : http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/news/uniteballot/uniteballot.aspx There is no need to queue at petrol forecourts. There is no urgency to top up your tank, a strike will not happen over Easter. Check travel sites and latest news before travelling. Stick to speed limits as this helps conserve fuel. So why did those two muppets give out idiotic advice to the general public? Diversion tactics from the badly received budget? short term boost in tax revenue? " but surely it IS sense to ensure you have plenty of fuel in the car, int it? whether there are looming strikes or not. what ifs are long and diverse | |||

"to blame the minister directly for what happened in york is harsh i believe, but i do believe that the government indirectly played a part in it all because of the crisis they in effect blew out of control...." That depends on where you looking at it from. If you're in the govt and you wnat to discredit Unite/Labour you create a firestorm out of nothing, let it blow itself out and then when the real thing comes along and people don't have any fuel the govt can say, "Well, we told you to stock up!" | |||
