Firefighters, as we have been called for 20 years, are not bomb disposal experts. That is true.
MP's are not * either.
The specific example was a woman who had petrol in in shed/garage to fill her sit on lawn mower. She decided to decant some of it into a (get this) ice cream tub (!) so her daughter could drive her children less than 1/4 mile to school.
There are so many things wrong with that sentence it makes me want to scream. But to do that action in an enclosed space with a lit gas cooker hob and a scented candle in the room is plain stupid.
No MP, or anyone else can be held responsible for this level of lunacy.

This was my point............spot on!!!!
It is about time people woke up and smelt the coffee when it comes to taking responsibility for their own stupid actions.
Trying to make a 5 litre fuel can into 5 gallons then 40 gallons............ is making excuses for the stupid. The man had a poor use of words..........where the papers and others seem to extend what he said to fit their opinion and agenda.

I am an expert at the "poor use of words"
But I am uneducated, I am nobody, I don't make my living from telling people how I can solve thier problems and make life better for them, I unlike the idiots that have said these things am not an MP.
That is my point as I keep saying, no a fireperson (whatever is pc) isn't a bomb disposal expert but does have a knowledge of the dangers he/she might come across in a fire because they chose a profession and learnt about it, they do not give advise that is dangerous or stupid in my experience when it comes to thier job, a far more respectfull profession than that of an MP for which they get too little pay, an MP also chose his profession, it is a shame that they cannot do it as professionally as firepeople do.
