Slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun then.
On what basis do you make the comment re benefits & disabled badges- are you disabled or on benefits?
from his posts above probably from watching lots of fraudulent use - but that aside he's spot on on the blue badge angle
for example
my freind andy was issued an automatic blue badge when he was diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome - with his pacemaker he's fine and regularly does full day working parties
another freind Robby is a lower limb amputee (bullet in the leg in 'stan) - with his prothesis his principal hobby is hill walking at which he's quicker and fitter than I am - he's talking about doing the welsh 3000s next year - but he got issued a blue badge because he's technically 'disabled'
i also know a guy who's trying out for the paralympic 100ms - agan he get a blue badge
(and on the otherhand my sister suffers with M.E - and some days can hardly walk through excruiciating pain in her legs and arms, but she doesnt get a blue badge, because on other days she's fine )
with that kind of example, you dont have to be right wing to think that something's seriously ammis with the way in which these badges are issued.
