Those with problems including dementia, autism and anxiety disorders triggered by travel or parking difficulties will be able to apply to councils for a badge.

So, you go to the doc and say, I couldn't get a parking space the other day so I had to walk a couple of hundred yards to the bookies. I got stressed about that, I need a blue badge. Yeah, that's OK old son I'll sign your application form.

This latest shit will of course not get abused will it!? And btw, when did having anxiety stop you walking.

Is there no end to this PC bollocks

Personally I avoid going to places where they give a fuck about parking. Fortunately places still exist where there aren't uniformed parking goons everywhere but over regulation is spreading fast.

I think you miss the point. There shouldn't be any dispute about providing close parking for those in genuine need. However, we already have a scheme which is abused, and with little or no enforcement of the fuckwits who do that.

This is just an invitation for a lot more abuse of it.

People will be entitled to a badge if they are anxious because er, they can't get a parking space next door to where they want to go. Give me a fucking break.

How will that be handled, and who is going to evaluate it. For Londoners will it be a grovelling tweet to Sadiq Khan?

What would you class as “genuine need”? You made quite an assumption when you said “People will be entitled to a badge if they are anxious because er, they can't get a parking space next door to where they want to go.” Do you have anything to back this up? I suppose you’re once again going to post an article from that aimed for penniless thickos.

Again, you throw in a name of someone the angry gammons detest to make a weak point.

FFS Zam, wise up.

Go and look up the circumstances in which Blue Badges are issued.

There will be no “explosion” of Blue Badges under this new scheme

The physically disabled elderly will have to park two miles away and no doubt die of exhaustion struggling to make their way in, while the pathetic scrounging Loony Left will be walking just 10 metres inside to buy their avocados as they cackle about how easy it was to tell their GPs that they were anxious autistic queer dementia sufferers.

It ain’t that simple, Zam.

You don’t just walk in, pick up a form and have yer GP rubber stamp it.

One has to qualify for rhe mobility component of the DLA in order to touch for a Blue Badge.

And there are very rigorous criteria needed to qualify.

Sorry to srymie your rant

But this far from “PC bollocks”....this us about a compassionate society looking after its most vulnerable brethern.

Careful now ol’ Pet, any suggestion that people should have to fill in forms to get a blue badge will get the hackles up of old birdie as she thinks that anyone filling a form for an over 75s free TV licence has to be subjected to interrogation from the Stasi.

In fact, everyone else in the country got a Blue Badge and I didn’t, I really wouldn’t care. As I have absolutely no need for one at this moment in history (fortunately).

Those that need them will get them, those that a trying to fiddle the system will eventually get caught out.

It’s really not something to got all hot under the collar about.
