It's that little word "Spill" again. As in Poole and oil "spill" - not as in "Oops-a-daisy - spilt a drop o' wine on me shirt". (Today - an hour or so ago) Sometimes a little 'spill' goes a very long way. Independent: "Major Incident Declared after Oil Leak at Poole Harbour": https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/major-incident-poole-harbour-dorset-b2308321.html Yep - a "major incident" is then repeatedly reframed as a "spill". And no definition of the word "barrel" is offered - as in "200 barrels of oil". Duh - big barrels, itsy-bitsy barrels? How many relatable Imperial gallons might that be exactly ? And of course we're given the usual and obligatory "an investigation can wait - we have other priorities right now etc" fob-off. (Ah well - at least it won't be as cataclysmically toxic as a little leak or a bit of invisible waste-water "spillage" from the likes of Fort Detrick) |
