[challenge entry] extreme stretch

...Francis Maude's role in raising Britain's Stupid People Nearly Burning To Death In Kitchen Fires statistics, I present this souvenir T-shirt:

# I heard on the radio she was decanting using a jar
dear fucking god, a jar, in a kitchen.

It's a horrible thing but a little fucking sense of "explody thing may explode" might have helped here.

Oh well, at least it might help a few folks realise the potential danger of fuel/air mixtures in enclosed spaces(it wont't, but one can hope).

# The fact that...
...she is clearly a fucking idiot (as I noted when I posted the image, i.e. "Britain's Stupid People Nearly Burning To Death In Kitchen Fires statistics") doesn't absolve greasy cunt Maude from his responsibility in giving out cretinous scaremongering advice in the first place. Or, to put it more simply: Cunt + Fuckwit = Mess
(, Fri 30 Mar 2012, 15:23, archived)
# I agree
If Maude had said anything at all about keeping fuel in the house or decanting it or, indeed, done anything other than tell people that they really shouldn't be panic buying, then maybe this would be relevant.

Since he did not, it is not.
(, Fri 30 Mar 2012, 15:28, archived)
# So if Maude had kept his big gob shut...
..she would still have been there in her kitchen decanting petrol, would she? There isn't - in your mind - even the slightest connection between a government cynically manipulating public fear and (admittedly stupid) members of that public then doing stupid things out of fear?
(, Fri 30 Mar 2012, 15:44, archived)
# What he said and what was reported are not the same thing.
As well as this, a connection is not blame.

If I had not been at the quay Victor Greenwood would not have had the same audience and may not have tried to swim across and drowned as I tried to save him.

I am in no way to blame for his actions.

This whole petrol thing is a farce and the cynic in me suspects that as it's the end of the financial year, this is a last ditch attempt by the government at trying to fudge the yearly figures, transforming Gideon into boy wonder.

Yes, scaring people into panic-buying is fucking ridiculous, and he needs to be called out on it, but it isn't a life-threateningly irresponsible act in the same way that careless handling of a very flammable substance is life-threateningly irresponsible.

# Drivel
Poor reporting is all that happened. This is fuck all to do with him and it is just idiocy to keep our cabinet on the basis of how good they are at popularity contests instead of merit.

He is in no way culpable for the fact that this woman decanted petrol next to her lit cooker, which she stockpiled after reading a quote printed out of context. In no way at all.
(, Fri 30 Mar 2012, 15:19, archived)
# fair enough on both accounts
but he is still guilty of scaremongering and should go for that IMHO.

And no, she didn't die, I've only had half an eye on the news today
(, Fri 30 Mar 2012, 15:44, archived)
# No he is not.
He did not scaremonger, in fact quite the contrary. He said, in response to specific questioning, that there was no need to panic, that no strike was scheduled and that anything beyond filling up the tank or having some in the garage was unnecessary.

It was reported as him saying that everyone should fill up their tanks and fill their garage with petrol, but that does not make it true that he said that.

# Interesting...
...how our esteemed Prime Minister himself said that '...a bit of petrol panic may be no bad thing' last Tuesday:
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2123444/Fuel-panic-good-said-PM-told-Ministers-held-ransom-tanker-drivers.html#ixzz1qlvgtz2G

So the fact that even the Prime Minister explicitly stated that a 'petrol panic' would be the obvious (and desirable) outcome of his government's policies is in no way connected with anything that happens as a result of people, er, panicking over petrol? FFS...

Note also the usual Cameron Denial Followed By Belated Confirmation:

Asked if the Prime Minister had said ‘a bit of petrol panic may be no bad thing’, a Downing Street spokesman initially said he had ‘no recollection’ of any such remark, before denying the comment was made.

However, Cabinet sources told The Mail on Sunday Mr Cameron did make the comment.

Their last registered logo was the one here: www.ipo.gov.uk/domestic?domesticnum=1537753
and it has expired. I can't find any record of registration of the logo. If they register it now, I suspect you could easily show that you had been using your logo before they started using registered theirs, and although you probably couldn't get away with claiming that they copied or infringed yours, it might severely clip their toenails.

perhaps a disclaimer on the site saying you are in no wat affiliated to cashconverters or any of their subsidary company and any likeness in the style of the website is purely coincidental.

also state that you are no way involved with the supply of catalytic converters either.
