Absolutely spot on again.
Their indifference remains unexplained

Can't a mod just lock it now - it's run its course, there's been nothing of value said here since about the fourth post.
You see, every time anyone, even Mods come up with a response that's remotely against the OP's train of thought, it either gets ignored, ridiculed, trolled or told it's off-topic, the OP himself seems hellbent on either digging a hole all the way to China or alienating the whole of CF (Except papa - who I suspect is having fun only).

We know your thoughts; we know you have nothing to contribute. It is for the mods to decide when the thread has run its course, not you and this is a legitimate topic for discussion which is why people are participating, including mods. That is why everyone is ignoring you.

I don't judge when I see an "able bodied" person using disabled parking spots, because I am not qualified to tell whether that person has a "hidden disability". Plus there is no way to tell if it's a Motability hire vehicle, a used car bought with the aid of Mobility Allowance, or a private car permitted a Disabled Parking Permit. Plus it could be a designated driver with no disability collecting or dropping-off a disabled person.
Knowing the system as I do, I know there will be fraud, but certainly a lot less these days since people actually get fairly regular face-to-face interviews and "tests" before they qualify. Plus I know that the driver does not have to be the disabled one providing the (Motability) vehicle is being used for the benefit of the disabled person.

Thank you Taf. I just think that £70m fraud is too much. Cheats are annoying.

There is no such thing as 'Moterbility benefit' that's for sure (you missed Peanut's ninja edit).
Motability is a national charity as pointed out by Taf in post 2. Are you saying people don't benefit from Motability?
And let's not divert from the £70m Motability swindle. This loss is not peanut.
