No it isnt a crime of the century, but it does show his true personality. and this game is for £70,000...... no way should he even believe he is in the running for it and to be booted out and told it is because of his attitude would make my day.
now I don't call feeling like that hatred nor getting out of hand, just sick of people like Tim's attitude for thinking he is above the rest of us.
Perhaps he needs the extra room for his head when he gets out of his car and should apply for a blue badge himself?

he IS like a caricature of a normal person, where all the bad things a person can be are emphasised and very visible, and all the good things...errrr...aren't there.

You're saying an awful lot about your attitude and level of respect towards the disabled. I have never and will never park in a disabled driver spot. It's wrong.

Tim is lucky that it wasn't me who came accross his car! I find that the best thing to get rid of the anger when you come accross an able bodied person parked in a disabled bay is to pull up really close to them and accidently open the door really hard against the 'half decent' car.

I always think about my grandmother's (who now has very servere Parkinsons) veiw on this which is "If you want to park in my space you can have my illness too". Tim should just be grateful that he is capable of walking from the other side of the car park.

youd soon change if you found out day after day that every time you tried to park in disabled spot you couldnt, its so damned frustrating and causes real annoyance and physical pain trying to gain access to the supermarket(for eg).

My beef with Tim isn't so much his parking in a disabled spot ...... as his ATTITUDE when he got caught and got the fines.
If I park in a disabled spot without my daughter being in the car and got caught I could face a heafty fine and even lose the blue badge.
If he had said " fair cop" then ok...... we are all human, like i say it isnt what he did, but it reflects his personality with his attitude on being caught and how incensed he was about his car

I had said previously that between Jade and Tim, that Tim would most likely go, and now I sincerely hope he DOES go next week. (Even though Jade does my head in!)

Every week I go shopping with a disabled friend of mine, and every week, we rarely find parking as so many non-disabled cars are taking up the spaces. Where we shop, they don't really enforce fines or clamping for this (even though the signs are clearly posted *sigh*), and it really annoys us.
We have actually gotten verbal (not abusive) with people who we have seen pull up into a disabled spot who are not disabled/do not display the blue badge, and even though some of them look annoyed for being collared for it, the majority do move. It really pisses me off that we should even need to attempt to get into it with these people!
What Tim and others like him do is very inconsiderate, very thoughtless, and against the law.
If all he got were some stickers on his car for his offence, he got off easy. I think thoughtless people with his attitude or those who repeatedly park in these spots, should be given the punishment of being in a wheelchair for a week, and see how they get on.
If he's trying to make himself look bad on tv, he's doing a damn fine job of it.
I can't wait until he's off the tv, and out of my line of sight.

After his commenst about the disabled, women and his racist joke it seems Tim has very Nazi-style views. I think Big Brother should kick him out - he has been far more of a b*****d than Nasty Nick.

No - Tim's spell in the house should be closed down before we find out what other anti-social prejudices he's got . He's the one who takes pride in his obnoxious opinions and is stoking up the hatred and abuse himself. Talk about adding fuel to the flames !

Tim is hated for so many more reasons than parking in the disabled spot. If you actually read the transcript he sounds like he has every right to park there.

Personally I think if you illegally park in a disabled spot your car is open to a good boot or two in the side panel and maybe a kick at you side view mirrors.

With all the cameras even I must admit that it would be much too much of an invasion of privacy. especialy if the person is paralised from the waist, there would be a lot of controversy about this, and watching someone using a catheter etc isnt "entertaining".
so unfortunalty I guess BB will have to discriminated here

Slightly off topic I know but not all disabled people use wheelchairs or catherters. I don't....

It has been very nice though reading most of the replies in this thread and I feel "supported" !!

I don't like coming accross people like Tim in my space when I go out in my car because 9 times out of 10 people here in London can get very abusive about such things, even if they are clearly in the wrong, and judging by Tim's attitude he wouldn't be any better. He would be scary.

After intially being shocked at his cold and selfish attitude, I considered what Tim must really think about the world and the people in it.

He obviously thinks that most people have no care for others and are all out for themselves at every opportunity. It's a shame that he doesn't realise that essentially people are decent, caring and thoughful, or else the world be in total chaos.

He could do with a real education and is at a disadvantage for not being taught how to respect, value and appreciate others.

What a very tragic outlook for someone so young to have on life.

Tim seems to be a shining example of how the hedonistic British upper-class brainwashing fails us all.

I just have a couple of questions.

1) Did any disabled people actually apply to BB?

2) Why is dim considered a toff? My understanding of a toff is someone from the upper echelons of society - dim is merely a pilot's son isn't he?

Tim's attitude towards using a disabled parking space has only enforced my opinion that he is an arrogant tw*t.
In answer to dezire's question:- I have NEVER parked in a disabled space when I shouldn't. (My wife is disabled, so I do use them when she is with me)
I have first-hand experience of the annoyance and inconvenience it causes when you can't get a disabled space because half of the spaces are taken up by cars without a disabled badge on show.
These people are despicable, and in my experience a large percentage of them are what Tim would call 'half-decent' cars. Some people who have the money to own upmarket cars have the same arrogant attitude as this t*sser.
I liked the comment in beccie's post:-
"You'll take my space, but would you take my disability ?"

What an arrogant little shite Tosser-Timmy is, he's welcome to my parking spaces as long he takes with it my disability and wheelchair too.

Tim is obviously in there to stir up as much bad feeling as possible. Race, disability, gingerness! I agree totally that disabled spaces should be for disabled people, but I also tend to agree slightly with Tim on the fact that very often too many spaces are set aside for disabled people, to the annoyance of able bodied people. Controversial I know, but yet again another example of PC gone too far. I mean the only time you have that many genuine disabled people turn up is when there's a Treasure Hunt on the go. Also, I think that childless people who park in family and baby spaces at supermarkets are w**kers!

There are an extraordinarily high number of orange badges issued each year - something like one in 8 of the population has one, so they do actually need a lot of spaces. What annoys me is when holders of these badges use the disabled spaces when they seem to have left the disabled person at home!

The only time I needed one, my disability was temporary so I couldn't have a badge and for several months had to hop for miles on my crutches so that some scrounger signed off permanently with a "bad back" could skip nimbly past me.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

yep - far better to have TOO FEW disabled parking spaces so that people like Tim can use them and let the disabled crawl etc to the shops.
All this PC rubbish only helps those at a disadvantage and leaves the able bodied having to walk further. Walk - you know that thing you do with your legs when you're not in a car

This is a very vexed question and something that needs to be out in the open. On the one hand if you are disabled or driving someone who is, there are NEVER enough disabled spaces and it is absolutely infuriating when they are full of cars without badges in.
On the other hand there are far too many badges issued. I know many people who have them and do not need them which makes me very cross as they are depriving people in genuine need. It also seems odd that it is far easier to get a badge in some areas of the country than is others. I also fail to see why it would not be possible to issue a temporary badge for people with broken legs etc.

Mavis, would you like to be Prime Minister?
I think you'd be very good!
