Minister for the Cabinet Office, Francis Maude has defended his plans for the public storage of fuel today. Speaking outside the Houses of Parliament, Maude was bullish about his suggestion that people should store their own petrol at home, and stated his new plans to beat the tanker drivers proposed strike:
"It's not unsafe at all to have a gerry can in the shed full of combustible liquids, people are just being silly, there is no danger whatsoever and there are plenty of other places that the public can store emergency fuel. For instance, most homes have a perfectly serviceable bath that could easily be utilized to help us beat these nasty militant drivers."
When quizzed on the safety of such a scheme, Maude said:
"judging by the looks of the average person, they don't use their bath often anyway, and even if they do, our advice is that so long as they do not smoke excessively, they will be perfectly safe"
