I fail to see how this whacko could be surpassed this year:
A soldier who lost a leg fighting the Taliban was told he didn’t qualify for a disabled parking badge because he might “get better”.
The 27-year old, whose heart stopped twice when he injured in Afghanistan, has now had more than £800 in parking fines for leaving his car in disabled bays.
I give you, the whacko of the year, Nottinghamshire County Council Service Director, Mr Paul McKay, who said ‘We will urgently assess whether Mr Lee meets the eligibility criteria for a disabled parking badge as laid down by the Department of Transport. We will progress this matter as quickly as possible.’
You sure he can’t grow another one? Starfish do.
Bravo as they say “you couldn’t make it up” no doubt when the service director leaves office he will receive a million squids as pay off.
Onward, Sir Lancelot!
‘As quickly as possible’ Try looking at his legs?
Been there done it got the t shirt.
The boy, no leg, no hip, terminal cancer and had trouble in Pembrokeshire getting his blue badge.
Until, that was, I went a visiting the council offices in Haverfordwest with photos of the surgeons cutting off his leg and his leg over his head with no bones in it!
Plus the edge of my tongue.
I always approached the council and DHSS with the blue flashing light well illuminated signing
“Don’t fuck with me!” and my lawyer on speed dial!!
Never seen a blue badge written by hand faster in my life!
Kid’s a warrior, be one, is my advice.
Hasn’t the boy got any relatives to do the hatchet job for him?
Where’s the Army when you need it? Why aren’t they doing a Christina for this guy?
The Government are looking at making cuts in the public sector. One has become immediately obvious!
Perhaps this man is ‘able’ to hop on one leg. If that is so, then perhaps he needs to learn to crawl to qualify for the badge. Then again than might be deemed as progress. (Arrogant, petty, beaurocratic bastards.)
