Anthony Steen, Consevative MP for Totnes, Devon, caught parking all day in a disabled parking bay at the railway station. Then has the cheek to say that the person who sent the photo to the local paper was very sneaky ! He was fined, but is this enough punishment for the HONORABLE gentleman

Nice one whoever took the pickie I too am disabled and when I get to my local Hospital the 3 bays by the outpatients are always filled by the 3 same cars ALL day
I believe his fine was NOT sufficient someone in a position of like that should suffer two fold as they are trying to abuse their position I think this should be extended to other public figures like Police officers but sadly what few do get to court are treated with the minimum penalty rather than the Maximum +
If I tried my New Skyline out at 170 MPH just to get used to it
they would use my B*ll's as a neck tie

I think his party should chuck him out.
It really really really annoys me when non disabled people park in disabled bays.
They're there for a reason.
When I take my sister (who has a disabled badge) out we often can't find suitable parking as able bodied people have parked in disabled bays.
I have had several confrontations with people, most are apologetic but some are down right nasty and rude.
Break both his legs and see how he likes not being able to get around properly!!

Resignation would be good, but unlikely as he is without honour or scruples (maybe as a politician that's natural).
Take our parking space, take our disability ...
A written, public apology is the least I expect.
Or perhaps he could spend a week in my wife's wheelchair.

no he should not resign, i agree with him , there are far too many disabled parking bays around. our local tescos as around 40 and Ive never seen more than 4 being used even on a Saturday.

No. He abused his position and took up a space that a disabled person really needed. If he can do that, what else is he capable of doing? How sneaky is he?

Sounds like he's a politician. How many politicians are truly honest? How many are truly Honorable? Sound like typical behavior for a "better than thou" politician.

The news article should be put on a poster and hung everywhere in his constituency.Like most tories he would not take a red face if you slashed him.
