Whilst Maude's comments were stupid anybody who decants petrol in their kitchen and then gets badly burnt is 100% to blame herself.
 
Highly inflammable in fact!

Make your mind up! Is if flammble or inflammable? :whistle:

Origin
1595–1605; < Medieval Latin inflammābilis, equivalent to Latin inflammā ( re ) to inflame + -bilis -ble


Usage note
Inflammable and flammable both mean “combustible.” Inflammable is the older by about 200 years. Flammable now has certain technical uses, particularly as a warning on vehicles carrying combustible materials, because of a belief that some might interpret the intensive prefix in- of inflammable as a negative prefix and thus think the word means “noncombustible.” Inflammable is the word more usually used in nontechnical and figurative contexts: The speaker ignited the inflammable emotions of the crowd.

I'd say she was an idiot. However, she is not the one paid a ministerial salary to not be an idiot, so Maude should definitely step down for issuing advice that was dangerous and illegal.

Regardless of her stupidity, would she have been doing this if Maude hadn't issued his advice? I'd say no, so I'm going to score it 85% her fault, 15% Maude's
 
The lady in question, suffered 40% burns. Snide remarks at her expense are a bit unfair to say the least. You would be amazed just how many members of the public do not know the dangers involved when handling petrol.

Hopefully she will make a full recovery.

I'll have you know that my MP is not paid a ministerial salary not to be an idiot. He is paid a ministerial salary to be a minister. No amount of money will ever stop him being an idiot.
