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.
