So the point I argue is that no-one should pay for the carpark, or if not - everyone should. (preferably no-one lol)

The finacial benefits that disabled people are entitled to, are worked out to the last penny.

Perhaps you should lobby your M.P. to take away the free parking rights of blue badge holders, and have their money increased instead to pay parking fees like everyone else.

It would probably cost the government (who are of course funded by us) more money, but at least you won't feel hard done by.
