It will be an arsonists dream come true. The fire investigation dogs won't be able to determine between petrol used by the arsonist, and petrol stockpiled.
I would be surprised if anybody contemplating arson over the pat few weeks is now sat at home rubbing their hands with glee and chuckling, "bwuhahahahahahaaaa, nobody can stop me now!"

As for advice regarding jerrycans, well I'm sorry but industrial action affecting our national infrastructure and services often is dangerous. Firemen of all people should be aware of that, they have not been averse to using national strikes in the past as a means of trying to get what they want.

That idiot at Unite has sweet-talked the tanker drivers into believing that this dispute is about something other than him getting a mandate to take on the government. With that mandate now in hand he can call a stoppage pretty much whenever he wants. The nation needs to be prepared.
