usually those spaces are not use anyway... so.....
so.....

If you go and park there, and 10 minutes later someone turns up who really needs the space, they aren't going to be able to park there, are they?

And may end up having to park half a mile away.

So sorry to hear that. I know it's not the same but my late grandmother had really advanced dementia and at times had trouble walking and was wheelchair bound. The number of times I would take her on the bus and people were in the disabled seats who didn't need them and wouldn't give her a seat. Some people are so selfish.

Really disappointing to see that from Natalie. Maybe she didn't realise?
Bib I highly doubt it. It's usually pretty obvious which spaces are for the disabled

Yeh she didn't realise two days on the trot I imagine she has being doing it regularly at the gym she was attending so someone tipped off the Mail/Paps.

Yeah looking at the pictures it does look pretty clear. She obviously thought it didn't matter and she could chance it. Suppose it goes to show that even people who seem really nice maybe don't behave well all the time.

I'd hazard a guess and say it was Karen in a blonde wig pretending to be Natalie.
Iknow cos Karen's such a biatch whereas Natalie's a goddess and goddesses don't behave this way ...

If it's true, I can't blame them at all.

Maybe it was someone with a friend like mine, whose powerchair is so big that her hubby needs a 4x4 just to get it in.

Or with a dad like mine, who was so reluctant to claim a blue badge, even though his bad heart meant he could barely walk on level ground, that it didn't come through before he died.

How anyone can take anything seriously from the DM is beyond me.
Yes they fabricate a lot of things as most tabloids do but there usually tend to be some modicum of truth in some of the things they say (however small it is). The problem is that they of course fabricate it to suit their agenda or storylines but to say that everything they report is false is not completely true.















I cant believe I just defended the dailyfail

I have an offer for Natalie; if she takes on my constant pain caused by a spinal cord injury or my heart failure or now my recently diagnosed arthritis, I'll let her use my disabled badge. Until then she's seriously angered me with her selfish behaviour & I hope she's thoroughly ashamed of herself.

Rant over, I need wine

You're right - the DM is a hateful rag but it's not the Sunday Sport - stories are not completely invented of the Elvis-found-on-moon variety - there is an element of truth but totally slanted to fit their agenda/evoke the desired reaction in the reader (usually a negative one).

If this had been a celeb they actively disliked, they would have made far more play of the disabled space business.

What an appalling thing to do. Deffo lost her goddess crown.

As much as I love an excuse to laugh at the Clifton scapegoating - that really was shoehorning them in

Well they wouldn't be able to be used would they? ... if non-disabled people are using them.
Disappointing... I thought better of Nat.

It's possible she had a disabled passenger - I drive my mother around, dropping her off at the door of the supermarket before parking in a disabled bay for us leaving.

I suppose it's possible but it certainly didn't look like it from the pictures, as she was returning to her car.

It's very naughty of Nat but it's not THAT bad, surely? Maybe a disabled person would be inconvenienced by it, which would be disappointing and frustrating for them, but it's hardly a matter of life and death, is it?

Dunno. A disabled person say has to struggle over on crutches, falls, bangs their head... could be!

It's pretty awful and really inconsiderate.

Maybe she's a libertarian and was making a political statement...

(Watch bullshit from Pen & Teller on the subject)

It's really selfish, inconsiderate and she should be fined. The disabled parking spaces aren't there just for fun. Running everyday tasks are many times hard enough when you have a disability, and selfish people like her make these normal things just unnecessarily difficult for disabled people.

I hope, that this public humiliation forces her to stop this habit.

Not really excusable in my view, unless there is something that we don't know.

Unfortunately disabled people are inconvenienced on a daily basis by thoughtless selfish behaviour. Each individual act might seem minor, but the cumulative effect isn't minor. So yes I think it is bad.

It is that bad but sometimes I think people don't see the consequences they just see a lot of empty spaces that don't get used that often and act accordingly. My mother who is mostly a nice person apart from reading the Fail has expressed irritation on seeing the mostly empty bays at the supermarket. She's never actually parked in one but it's the next stage isn't it especially since although some disabled people probably do use a gym to help improve their fitness it's one step easier to rationalise that they wouldn't. She may also have had some dispensations about three days when she hurt her back and couldn't dance and is finding them hard to give them up now she's fine again.

I'm finding it a bit hard to reconcile that someone who always seemed a nice person on the show could behave like a selfish tit away from it too. She definately gone a few notches down in my opinion of her.
