Although if you read that article you have linked to
you will find it says, very clearly, 'in your garage'.
It also was a statement which said 'do not panic, beyond topping up your tank and maybe having the jerrycan in your garage (I always have a jerrycan in the garage)' so the misreporting of it is far more to blame.

So your position is
that this woman would have been fucking about with petrol in her kitchen in the absence of this advice?

If those creatures hadn't have died millions of years ago and been turned into oil, she would have never got burned

OK
so I'll grant that the advice said "garage" not house - fair enough. But there's a reason why the fire service criticised Maude for his advice: it's because shit like this happens, because people are morons, as evidenced by them fucking about with petrol in their kitchens with the bleeding oven on. Claiming that somehow this incident is entirely unconnected to government advice about stockpiling petrol is just daft.

Of course it's not unconnected
But it's not their fault either. Morons are morons and need to learn by their actions rather than being fucking spoon-fed and wrapped up in cotton wool everywhere. "The contents of this cup are HOT" "These peanuts contain nuts". Severe scalding and a face like a ball of dough will soon show you what's what.

You could argue as.......
the government treat us like a bunch of fucktards, they should think about making silly statements, or at least run it by the relevant (or 'know what the fuck they are talking about') authorities first. ;)
