    Got to love people like him. Classic English eccentric.

    Unlike Jeremy Corbyn whose weasel words remind me of someone with a sociopathic tendency. Maybe it's just me!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Take that from someone whom, according to my Commission, signed personally by her hand, Her Majesty considers to be "trusty and beloved", and with whom she is "well pleased".

    KCMG by any chance?

    An excellent speech by Sir Greg who seems a thoroughly decent chap.

    One Honourable member appears to have been the victim of an "own space" ticket in Cardiff.

    The debate covered small lettering, ignoring letters, leaving site, threats, transparent appeals, the words "roboclaims" "cowboy" were used, the BPA describes as as much use as a mult story Car Par as the middle of the Gobi deserts, default CCJs, Link, PE, NG, UKPC,PE, all dishonourably mentioned.

    Gladstones, BWL, slated and referred to the SRA . Harassment of taxis, black and yellow invoices, Dracula in charge of the blood bank, and much much more.

    It very much looks as though the writing may well be on the wall for the IPC, Gladstones, and Smart Parking and many many more. The DVLA will have to raise their game.

    This debate should be made compulsory viewing for all County Court Judges.

    In any industry, a few rogues can give everyone a bad name - and parking is no exception.


    Most parking companies operate in a fair and transparent way.....

    It is not just what Sir Greg has to say, MP after MP spoke out supporting his Bill, not one MP spoke up in defence of the industry.

    There is clearly cross party support for this bill so it’s passage through the commons should be fairly smooth.
