Now 'We're In It Together Dave' Is At It As Well...

David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne have lots in common - wealthy backgrounds, top educations - but not least their ability to park in the wrong place.
The Prime Minister left his Jaguar for three hours in a 30-minute bay on the same day it was revealed Mr Osborne parked his car in a disabled space.
Mr Cameron ignored the sign which gave him only half an hour in the restricted zone while he worked at his constituency office in Whitney, Oxfordshire.

    Tell him to go to pepipoo.com, they will help him get off the ticket.

    Do Prime Ministers really drive themselves about??

    I seem to recall Tony Blair after leaving office saying he had missed the feeling of driving (and having to wait at red lights like everyone else).

    I don't know, I've never been Prime Minister.

    Says he was seen arriving, no mention of him been seen driving.
    And i suspect he probably had a Police driver.
    Picture also shows him on the passenger side

    It appears from other articles that he wasn't driving, but still all the same it was his car and his employee.

    When did they rename the town of Witney? Does this mean there's some truth in the rumour it's been twinned with Houston?

    Mr Camoron's driver is a police officer. Whether we agree with it or not given the security issues it will be argued that the officer could properly waive the parking restrictions.

    However, the feeling that our noses are being rubbed in it isn't helped by such actions as this.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    Remember Tony Blair in his PM Jaguar, stuck in a traffic jam on the M4 near London? His (Police?) driver used the bus lane to esacpe the jam - no offence was comitted, as apparently the PM's 'safety' was at risk, and the actions of the driver were deemed an appropriate respoonse to the perceived 'risk'.
