How's This For Stupid? Forkers make fools of themselves over fuel crisis

It started with this fairly light-hearted tweet aimed at the obsessive forkers:

Outside cab office after COBRA meet. Press discussing jerry cans. Crowds start forming but why? Apparently because the 'mccanns are inside'!

Naturally, the obsessive forkers took the bait...

@Georginaitv Where were #McCanns after the #Cobra meet the other day ?

Same place as everyone else, I expect, at home wondering why a shower of lunatics were running the UK...

But it got worse...

@xklamation Hi joana - did you see this tweet https://twitter.com/#!/search/cobra%20mccanns If true something must be rumbling in the jungle #mccann




Stand by for the Generalissima inventing a story from Sauces about how EAWs were being issued, and Cameron was holding an emergency meeting of COBRA to deal with it.

I do hate to break it to the forkers (who am I kidding, no, I don't)

...but it's all about PETROL and JERRYCANNS

and the idiotic advice issued by the idiotic UK government earlier this week:

quote:

Fuel strike: minister Francis Maude attacked for 'dangerous’ advice to store petrol
Francis Maude, the Cabinet Office Minister, has come under fire for suggesting that motorists should keep an emergency store of petrol “in a jerry can in the garage”.

As usual, the forkers are making total prats of themselves

Here's another one:

ANYONE KNOW WHY #MCCANN S WERE ATTENDING A COBRA meeting THE OTHER DAY 27/28TH MARCH ?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/blog/2012/mar/30/fuel-panic-petrol-live

David Cameron has renewed his call for Unite to call off the proposed tanker drivers' strike. He did so in a brief clip to the BBC recorded after he chaired a meeting of Cobra, the government's emergency committtee.

Stunning display of obsession from the forkers

And another whackjob falls for it:

@JohnnyWatergate Perhaps you could make yourself useful for once and explain what the #mccann s were doing at the COBR meeting on 27/28 Mar?

Can it really be possible for them to get any thicker?

Sadly, yes, it is, Tony. Someone is bound to top that before too long
