Nothing about any MPs would surprise me! I bet he didn't even bother to use someone else's disabled badge!

He was branded selfish and arrogant after allowing his chauffeur to park his £50,000 Land Rover in a space reserved for the disabled. Apparently there were plenty of other places available just a few yards away at the M4 service station.

Who really gives a fuck, I've done it loads of times but only if there are three or more disabled spaces also available. What are the chances of four disabled people turning up at the same time in the five minutes I'll be in the shop.

Some people just like to bitch about everything and anything.

I do hope that he gets a total bolloking for this.. I have never parked in a disabled parking space, apart from when had my mum and her badge in the car...

It used to drive me totally mad when you would see people pop into disabled parking, dash to cash point and then dash off again, and by this time I had had to park a way away, and struggle to get my mum into her wheelchair, as no space to do so beside the car

I've seen people with disabled badges in their cars and there's sod all wrong with them. If their 'disability' isn't clearly visible it isn't bad enough to warrant an easy parking space.

My dads got a disabled badge. he's entitled to it although at first glance he's not visibly disabled. would you like me to make him a little sign listing his conditions? i could hang it round his neck if it would make it easier for people. not than he can usually find a disabled spot. some other cunt is usually in it.

If it's on private property it's not illegal to park in a disabled bay. The company need to make provision for disabled parking but cannot enforce non disabled people from parking there.

It's not really a matter of whether it is illegal or not. People's main issue is a moral one. As a leading politician he should be setting an example.

the badge entitles anyone driving the car to access the bays..carers of the disabled are equally as important as the disabled person

I agree. I will use disabled parking at supermarkets only when late night shopping (10pm) onwards when I'm pretty sure that there won't be a convoy of 50 disabled people coming in lol

During the day I won't use them.

Although people seem to be using the story to call the man some vile names. To me there is no reason to ever call someone names like that.

theres nothing more infuriating than watching someone hop out of there brand new mobility carparked in a prime disabled spot and run into the supermarket, i'd say theres quite a lot of people who abuse the parking laws with the blue badge crack too.

Agree with most of these points - the badge is for the person - not the car so The system gets abused.

Late-night parking in Tesco's disabled bays everyone does it.

And use your vote wisely at the next election after giving away so much money to foreign countries in aid we giveaway more than the police budget.

That is the reason I can't vote blue at the next election.

Osborne has admitted that the car he was in was parked in a disabled bay , BUT, he wasnt driving it, it was his police minders that were driving the vehicle he was a pasenger.

Typical of the modern police force, the rules apply to everyone but them.

But they didn't break the law. You can park in disabled bays on private property. I'd wager the land the M4 services are on belongs to the company that run it.

This is more a moral issue rather than a legal One as stated above.

Apart from the fact he wasn't driving!

I would think the police escort may just have had more to do with where the driver parked on security grounds.

If he's that bad should he really be out an about driving a car on public roads. Other road users won't know the extent of disabilities (cos we don't have 'disabled' lanes that they can drive in do we).

like ive said previous..please someone tell me I'm wrong..but the person driving the car may not be disabled and have a badge on the car..as they are named as a carer...last time I looked my 9year old disabled niece cant drive a car.

I dont think her fathers status changes just because she might not be IN the car at the time..he is still a designated carer and the car is still a carers car..it shouldnt matter to anyone but the law regarding who parks the car unless they think its reportable to the police as forged badge.

Sorry but if she isn't in the Car at the time why does he need to use the disabled badge exactly?? Isn't that Just an able bodies person abusing the Blue badge foe personal gain??

Yes he should have a badge when he is taking your niece out and about but any othertime he is a common driver like the rrest of us.

Really?! How the heck can you know what is wrong with someone just by looking at them? Or is it just that they can walk and are not in a wheelchair so there is obviously "sod all wrong with them"?!!

So it is transferable from car to car then? IF so then disabled carers should remove the badge when the disabled person isn't in it and park in the same bays as able bodied people. Or do they use the excuse that they have to get back to the disabled person quickly so need to park in a disabled bay to make a quick entry/exit?

I'm not ignorant, I just don't really give a shit about blue badge holders or their carers. If they're that bad they shouldn't be driving and clogging up the roads at 25mph in rush hour.

(and I've heard all the 'there for the grace' rhetoric blah blah blah, but I'm healthy, have always been healthy, have never spent a single day in hospital, never had an operation (apart from the snip in January) and my kids are the same - guess it must be my Kal-El Supergenes)

No, not that there's sod all wrong with them if it can't be visibly seen, but that it's not serious enough to need to park as close to the store as possible without driving through the front door. There's a difference. Having a dodgy leg isn't serious enough in my opinion.

its not the first time her father has been pulled up and had the issue resolved..

the badge is ON the car..its not taken on and off..it works much like a tax disc I'd say..

lets say perhaps her father has the wheelchair in the car and is picking her up from school..he parks where he is supposed to..she isnt in the car at the time.. badge on? badge off?

the crux of the issue is the car is registered, and registered to him and any other named carer..he isnt just passing the car around so ppl can gain access to disabled areas

The Blue Badge Network website states in bold that the badge should only be displayed when using the parking benefits it entitles it's holder to and at all other times it should be removed from the windscreen.

Is that the basis of your argument? To bring my kids into it? (one of them is under 2 and doesn't qualify for a blue badge as she's deemed 'not to be able to walk anyway' which is a joke - how many kids can't walk at 2 years old!)

You bought your kids in to your comment....was just pointing out that god forbid your ignorant little bubble should burst sometime in the future....Maybe then someone else will not be "giving a shit" about your issues because they too have small minded opinions about something they know nothing about!

Rant over and genuinely would never wish anything on anybody so hope you all stay healthy

My dads got a disabled badge. he's entitled to it although at first glance he's not visibly disabled. would you like me to make him a little sign listing his conditions? i could hang it round his neck if it would make it easier for people. not than he can usually find a disabled spot. some other cunt is usually in it.

If he's that bad should he really be out an about driving a car on public roads. Other road users won't know the extent of disabilities (cos we don't have 'disabled' lanes that they can drive in do we).

If you knew anything about disabled permits you would realise its for the car the disabled person is in not the driver you are just showing your ignorance again.

So it is transferable from car to car then? IF so then disabled carers should remove the badge when the disabled person isn't in it and park in the same bays as able bodied people. Or do they use the excuse that they have to get back to the disabled person quickly so need to park in a disabled bay to make a quick entry/exit?

I'm not ignorant, I just don't really give a shit about blue badge holders or their carers. If they're that bad they shouldn't be driving and clogging up the roads at 25mph in rush hour.

(and I've heard all the 'there for the grace' rhetoric blah blah blah, but I'm healthy, have always been healthy, have never spent a single day in hospital, never had an operation (apart from the snip in January) and my kids are the same - guess it must be my Kal-El Supergenes) "

Ignorance again in the main disabled road users don't go out at rush hour they have no need to and how you can tell who is driving at 25 mph or not suggests your not paying attention to the road and other road users if you are trying to gowp in a car to see if they are disabled or not. It comes very much across as you are a selfish person who only has self interest at heart.

If you are entitled to the highest rate of mobility with the DLA then you have an automatic right to a blue badge.

I would think that anyone who is entitled to a blue badge would swap their disability and badge in a second with anyone who was able bodied.

well he's got a license,a badge and a car so why shouldn't he.i never made comment on the severity of his conditions so you're just leaping to conclusions. I'll ignore all your posts in future wishy as you seem to just take an oppositonal stance because of the thread title. its becoming a theme with you lately so I'll pass..its fucking tiresome

"the badge is ON the car..its not taken on and off..it works much like a tax disc I'd say..

The Blue Badge Network website states in bold that the badge should only be displayed when using the parking benefits it entitles it's holder to and at all other times it should be removed from the windscreen.

well there ya go..my broinlaw is abusing the system...of course..any officials have said its ok..perhaps thats when common sense comes into into it"

I think the offical is giving the wrong advice. If you are a driver for a disabled person you are only meant to use the badge when the disabled person is in the car.

If that means I don't really give a stuff about people who don't even know my first name, then yup, guilty as charged. I'm on this little insignificant ball for approx. 70 years after which I'll be gone and nobody will really give a toss except my kids, so please forgive me if I don't value the friendship of people I don't know, nor want their respect, nor want to give them any value that detracts value from myself and/or my family, as I pure and plainly couldn't give a flying fuck about them.

A "blue badge" is issued to an individual, and is not dependant on them being able to drive. It is not legal for a carer/driver to use someone else's badge for their own purposes...the card holder must be with them or they may use it to park when they are collecting the card holder. Some people are under the impression that if they are doing some sort of errand for the card holder this entitles them to use the card....not true.

It is not easy to get a blue badge - the holder must either be in receipt of the higher rate of DLA for mobility or have had a medical examination (quite rigorous as it happens).

I wouldn't have an issue with other people using disabled bays late evenings/middle of the night they are rarely used.....but in the day time it's morally reprehensible. Even if there are 3/4 empty spaces.....if you haven't got a badge park elsewhere.....the spaces can fill up very quickly and if they are being used by able-bodied people, can cause a disabled person unnecessary problems.

I have one for use with my Dad who has dementia, looks fine on the outside. Never park in a disabled bay without him and not in the child and parent spaces either. Reckon I can just about cope with the extra 10 yard walk. Osborne's attitude on a lot of stuff stinks.

For the person named on the bade this is true......and yes, there are people who use their relatives badges to park illegally.......and they also run the risk of huge fines if they get caught.

Never parked in a disabled spot, even following an accident when on crutches.

Guess Blue Badge and Parent and Child space abuse ultimately comes down to following either the letter or the spirit of the law.

It's about obeying your own conscience - sadly many people don't appear to have one.

thats the reason why some park up on yellows,chuck the badge in the window and fling the door open and run off sharpish then, they don't want anyone noticing the person on the badge isn't the person using it,that should carry a prison sentance and a hefty fine then

You come across as a very bitter person. Having read some of your posts on benefits, unemployment, and bedroom tax. Your statements are beginning to sound like you could be trying to deflect that you might be in that situation yourself. Don't mean to sound disrespectful but you are being very disrespectful yourself, towards people and their circumstances that you know nothing about. You do come across as pretty intelligent, and at first I thought you were very tongue in cheek, but I am not so sure anymore. But I do know you are a very bitter individual.

respectfully I would venture that some posters are simply an internet Trolls, trying to stir up sentiments for their own strange amusement to make up for something lacking in their life.I for one find them offensive and whilst I would wish them no harm personally I feel that if the shoe was on the other foot they may change their nasty trolling opinions and find some respect for their fellow humans being, until then trolls will continue to blight the forum. IMHO.

Bitter? God, you couldn't be further from the truth. My wife calls me an very apathetic person but then she asks me to explain why I don't suffer from stress like she does and I have to explain to her that she is a highly empathetic person and her stress levels are a direct result of how she feels other people's pain/hurt/whatever, whereas I don't feel those things at all. It's not bitter to say one doesn't care about people one doesn't know. I have nothing in common with people in Africa or in the next street except for the fact they are also human, but if I'm to have a glass of human kindness like everyone else does why is it only offered to fellow humans and not the rest of the animal kingdom? Isn't that hypocritical? (I'm a confirmed meat eater and it means nothing to me about how a cow/sheep/pig is slaughtered so long as it's wrapped up and available in Sainsburys - when I manage to park in a disabled bay to go and buy it - which is of course totally untrue as we shop online almost exclusively these days).

Bitter? Nah, I'm as calm as a Hindu Cow.
