This kind of publicity gives the Motability Scheme and all of us who use it, a bad press and great copy for the media. We get enough funny looks and sometimes comments from the able-bodied as it is.
Example: a month ago, I was parking in a Grimsby Blue Badge space, got out and along to the boot for my stick. “You don’t look disabled” said an obese prat at the roadside, with a burger box and fries in his paw. I said nothing, took my stick and two more to the passenger door, helped my missus out, gave her the sticks, locked the door, walked round to him.
“Neither do you, Fatso,” I said, “but if you keep shovelling loads of s**t down your neck and taking no exercise, I don’t doubt that you will be! And I also doubt that you will live as long as me, which will benefit the Human Gene pool. Now p**s off out of my way before I puncture your fat gut with this stick!” Several bystanders were laughing at him, he exited, stage left.
My SWMBO was rolling her eyes and shaking her head. Has never learned that aggression is the better part of valour.
When the Thought Police arrive at your door, think -
I'm out.
