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.

Garinda .. think you are losing the plot here. Thomas was just pointing out that not all Blue Badge holders are hard up .. could be an average that they may be, in that case, shouldn't we means test all sick parkers at the Hospitals.
I held a disabled badge for a short while .. but would not have had a problem in affording the charge, and coughed up willingly.
Sure there are lots of wealthy people that hold a Blue Badge.
They are separate issues to benefits in my opinion.
Think they are also exempt from congestion charges also .. that is also a can of worms.
