    I agree - it is about choice. The choices the present UK government makes are not ones that I support. You do. That's fine. I don't agree that changing distressed parents to visit their kid who is close to the point of death is a good idea while rich pensioners get "help" to run their spa bath in November, but I suppose that's just me.

    Hospitals set their own parking regimes.

    It is, AFAIK, only the PFI hospitals that are charging as charges were abolished at all others in 2008. It would have been too costly to buy out the PFI hospitals' parking operations, which I think are "privatised".

    The first time my son was hospitalised (about 6 months) was when charging was still in force. We were there all day, every day for weeks. We had to go and move the car every two hours and hunt for change. Not what parents need, I can assure you.

    Local one sets it's own charges. Parking is so bad for staff and visitors alike. That approval has been granted to build an additional 400 spaces. Construction to be paid for by raising charges to staff and visitors.

    I personally think Fracking should be banned, but there are no actual trade unions connected with the SNP just many SNP members that are also trade union members ...

    Are the SNP going to revoke licences that have already been sold? That sounds expensive and a bit dodgy to me.
