  The government lost one of their main advisors recently, he has gone to Californiae to get the wind back in his sails and the sun in his hair. But I wonder if they miss him. My guess is they do. This past week they have shuffled from pitfall to pitfall.
  
  It appeared that Maude had made a gaff first of all when he had that 'jerrican' moment on Sky News. But the Prime Minister said something similiar later in the day at his press conference. So they had clearly had a bit of a meeting earlier with policy written on the back of a fag packet(up 37p!!). Short in detail and long on the opportunity for chaos. it was an extraordinary thing to say...top up, top your jerrican up, keep topping up.
  
  Presumably the thinking was to nullify the impact of a potential strike if and when it happened.
  
  Of course following along from all this muddled thinking and muddled message, the obvious came to pass...with petrol stations selling out quick and fast, sales up 172%, and prices as Martin says there wrenching upwards.
  
  You know that standard line that politicians say..."we've made it very clear..." the funny thing ( hilarious!) was they were saying this all day the other day. Various guys at ministerial level came on TV saying...yes you've guessed it..." we've made it very clear..."
  
  Of course everything was far from clear and Joe Public is out there ever since queuing and emptying petrol stations and doing it as we speak!
