What about the 4th voice??
The one that says that many disabled people have wanted the same rights as able bodied people for so long.
Pick one or the other, pick being treated equally and find a fucking space anywhere and remove marked diabled bays.
Or stop fucking bitching because a shop doesn't have a ramp.

Want to be treated equal, then struggle to find a space like everyone else.
Want to be treated differently, then keep your 'special' parking spaces.

I've been issued a blue badge, I rarely use it. I simply park in the first space I see, I don't care if it's a 5 min walk to the supermarket.

Mensa Reject - What about the Blue Badgers who CAN'T walk? The reason there are disabled spaces is not so disabled people can be treated equally, it's so they are closer to the facility in question.

My partner has a blue badge, and needs a wheelchair to go all but the shortest distances. There have been many occasions where people have used disabled spaces when they shouldn't, creating a lot of pain for both of us. There are plenty of Council disabled spaces remember, they're not all private.

I sincerely hope you're telling a very poor, ill-informed joke - otherwise you are as ignorant as they come. I hope you continue to find your 5 minute walk from your car as enjoyable as you do now.

Spot on
My cousin has advanced MS, and his partner is learning to drive because they've been housebound now for 6 years. She is going to need, not want a parking space as close as possible with plenty of room for the wheelchair.
