There is no risk at all.

You only run the risk of it being taken from you if it is misused either on a public highway or parking.

The council have no right to inspect a blue badge if you are on private land (supermarket) or off street parking (hospital)

So why do you think I am likely to lose it?

Well that girl on Panorama was parked in a shopping centre, she was going to work at Next and the enforcement officer took that BB.
And not all supermarket car parks are privately owned.
But I can't make my mind up if it's you that's at fault for lending the BB, or your wife for using it :mad:
Did she use your BB when she went shopping to the charity shop to get you a walking stick?

yet more disable hating propaganda wonder what knee jerk reaction will come of these edited screen plays , keeps the attention from the fat cat bankers for a while though aye ( shhh dont say but they are the real reason the country is skint mind ) but fill the media with disabled scum.... perhaps it would be cheaper to put all us disabled in big institution's so no dla no blue badge no vat breaks...oooo look how much could be saved..... makes me ************* sick !

well done for reinforcing the stereotype of the angry disabled guy that can't see anyone else's viewpoint.

i think the only "disabled scum" on this thread is the poster that thinks it ok to lend his blue badge out.

those council people should've had at least one policeman on hand to stop them getting run over and stuff.

One in ten thousand people it does, and yet I still get vilified by the idiot on the street for being a benefit 'fiddler' because I don't look sick.

yoiu get all these stories in the media about "disabled" people who cant walk being caught running marathons. as long as people see these stories they will be suspicous about "disabled" with no obvious disability.

disabled people lending out their blue badge also causes problems.

That is the fault of the media - not those of us who have invisible disabilities - and it doesn't justify the behaviour of the general public. One would think they might realise it's hard enough to manage without that rubbish.

so you are tarred by the one in ten thousand people fiddling, and you tar the ten thousand people who walk past you without saying a word because of the one idiot who vilifies you?

nice double standard you got there

programs like these give the impression that ALL disabled are like it , they are very cleverly produced and edited, these type of programs are damaging to genuine disabled people,
this type of behaviour is a very low percentage of disabled people, cant you see past the propergana ? even go as far as saying inciting hatred !
