Reply to: MP criticised for 999 boiler call

[expat]

1. Switch off heating immediately.
2. Does the noise still occur?
If Yes, this is strange: evacuate and call 999.
If No, the emergency has been avoided. You are now going to be cold and need to decide what to do about that, but it is a problem, not a 999 emergency.

But you would have voted had you been on electoral roll?

nice try but mind your own business.

How did she ever become an MP?

An IT worker married an MP? Surely .

The children will grow up to be too stupid to steal

She should have called out the army.

More people in her constituency voted for her than any other candidate. It's how democracy works, BP.

Unless your name is Barak "Light Worker" Obama, in which case you get your competitors struck off so your name is the only one on the ballot.

Yep, democracy at work!

This just is further evidence as to how thick these people in HMG are. How long will it be before GB calls in the army to defend the pound !!

Not as daft as you think. Govenments often have a war to boost the ecconmy


Not as daft as you think. Governments often have a war to boost the economy. How many billions have been pillaged from Iraq?

To me proves that people in her constituency are far too stupid and should not be allowed to vote. I bet the sales of the daily mail are high in her area.

Mail readers don't vote Lib Dem, do they??

I'm not sure who I would think to ring if I thought my gas boiler was about to explode. I'm pretty sure that 999 would figure in my thought process above trying to find the number of a plumber to ring.

Of course, if there was something really wrong with it, then the operator should have told her to ring a plumber and not informed the fire brigade. The fact that the fire brigade turned up and solved the problem rather than looking and again telling her to call a plumber shows that she did the right thing.

Since the fire brigade themselves say that she should have called them, I have less time for the idiot "Conservative chairman of London's fire authority" who has opened his mouth without actually understanding the situation or the expert advice, trying to stir up some degree of political storm. He seems far dizzier than her.

I telephoned my husband who is working in IT Support. He asked if I had tried turning the boiler off and back on again.

An IT worker married an MP? Surely they can do better than that.
