Firefighters wants maude to retract his jerrycan stockpile.

Totally agre it puts firefighters job at risk
I presume you mean firefighters lives?

During previous fuel stockpiling petrol was found stored in houses. This could easily make the difference between a small fire with no injuries, and a fully developed house fire with a very probable risk of deaths or serious injuries.

I have my doubt they will go for easter. Might be wrong but think they will use it further down.

The only thing which could be indicators to early strike is the training soldiers to drive tankers.

That might be in the mind unions.
I don't think they can legally strike as soon as Easter. But the olympics will no doubt be a target.

With respect Hugh, MP's shouldn't give advice on subjects they know nothing about. Or they should take advice from people in the know before they make fools of themselves by giving out dangerous (possibly lethal) advice.
