That one member of the government was representing the government. And telling people to fill jerry cans is telling them to keep spare fuel in stock (stockpiling). It was irresponsible to give that advice. And as I said earlier, those who don't know what they are talking about should leave it to the experts.
I imagine you would have a different attitude if it had been a member of the previous government.
This isn't a party political issue. It is one of irresponsibility, by someone representing the government, who should know better than to give out dangerous advice.
If you are saying that you would take his advice, then I'm advising you as a member of the fire service to ignore his advice on the grounds of safety.
