A UK Member of Parliament named Anthony Steen has hit the news headlines for leaving his car in a disabled parking bay for three days. He has come out with some sort of excuse for this blaming disabled people somehow. Probably not quite like that, but I don’t care.
Come out with some genuine argument about how there are too many disabled parking bays and I might pay attention.
But pay attention to some drongo who came out with some sort of argument after he has been caught parking illegally ? Not a chance. This is an example of behaviour that gives politicians a bad name. He’d be far better off by saying “Oops! I shouldn’t have done that”, paid his parking fine, and keep his mouth shut about any criticism of disabled parking.
Funnily enough he’s a member of the political party that used to bang on so much about their being the party of “law and order”. Breaking the parking laws is funny sort of behaviour for an MP from that party isn’t it ?
I guess this little rant makes me one of those “whingers and whiners” that he’s now going on about.
