I was responding to your post 46 which you said they could, before you edited it.

I edited it because yet again you were adding your own opinions where they were unnecessary. The point is that according to the law, disabled people do not have to be blue badge holders in order to use disabled pays in private car parks. Whether they would be able to use ordinary parking spaces is irrelevant. Whether you think it's OK, is again, irrelevant. Whether you think they're lazy, is irrelevant. You're not arguing against my opinion, you're arguing against what the law states about disabled bays in private car parks.

Clearly people exist who are disabled but do not have blue badges. These people have every right to use disabled parking spaces in private car parks, and yet they are given fines - these are the people who are being discriminated against

Why would someone park in a 'disabled' parking space if they had no need to do so? And as I have repeated endlessly, if they are disabled under the DDA and they needed to park a 'disabled' parking space, why on earth would they not have a blue badge, as it would make life outside of supermarket car parks much easier for them.

It doesn't matter why they would do so, and whether they have need to do so is not dictated by you, or by whether not they have a blue badge, as has been pointed out to you endlessly.

Because they they don't need one to park in a disabled space in a private car park.

Perhaps we need to go back an hour, so you could give an example of someone (other than the mythical overseas person) who is disabled under the DDA and who needs to park in a disabled space close to a supermarket entrance, but is not entitled to a blue badge.

Why are people from overseas "mythical"? The world is a very big place you know, and some parts of it are outside of the UK. From what you've said previously this may come as a shock to you so feel free to take a breather.

....

Better now? OK.

Leaving aside the *totally real* example of someone disabled who chooses to holiday in the UK, the fact is that disabled people are not obliged to apply for a blue badge, not does it mean that someone who applies but misses the criteria by a very thin margin is not disabled.

To his credit, I think he's saying that only disabled people from overseas are mythical. :rolleyes:

People who are counted as disabled under DDA, as amended in 2000 (section 18), but would not qualify for the Blue Badge scheme, are people with HIV or cancer.

I am sorry to say that people are arguing over a false dichotomy.
