The corruption of patients and those visiting ailing ancestors by acquisitive NHS bureaucrats and their scum-of-the-earth, clandestine sector, partners-in-extortion is a civic scandal.
Hallelujah! At last, Labour’s appear up with a acceptable policy. Jeremy Corbyn is able to abate car parking accuse at hospitals
For instance, one woman accessory Lichfield hospital, in Staffordshire, for an X-ray was accustomed a £70 admission for blockage aloof 13 abnormal over her allotted time.
Then it was appear that visitors to London’s Royal Chargeless Hospital were actuality answerable akin afore they accomplished the car park.
Their cardinal plates were clocked on camera as they queued to get in.
As I wrote at the time, this adverse CCTV arrangement is evocative of a maximum-security prison, not a hospital. Often, already inside, there were no spaces available. Despite this, drivers were still answerable for the time they spent attractive for about to esplanade afore leaving.
This was abandoned one of the added blameworthy practices active in hospital car parks all over Britain.
NHS Trusts raked in a almanac £120 actor in parking fees in the year catastrophe 2016. But, on top of that, the clandestine ‘enforcement’ firms they apply get to accumulate all the fines they appoint — which gives them a bright allurement to resort to entrapment, absonant penalties and conjuration of hand.
Sky-high accuse and coffer account-draining fines are advised cynically to booty advantage of bodies aback they are at their best vulnerable.
For abounding years, this cavalcade has actual the admission of adorned dress in Britain. We’ve had dogging Smurfs, drink-related punch-ups amid Jedi Knights and Doctor Who enthusiasts and a accumulation affray at a Manchester railway base involving a assemblage of Where’s Wally? enthusiasts.
In one notable incident, in Norwich, two men dressed as Ozzy Osbourne and Elvis Presley attacked an off-duty policeman in a Wyatt Earp costume.
Wearing adorned dress to a stag or hen night is one thing. But now the fad has advance to funerals. The Co-op letters contempo requests for a burial administrator dressed as Darth Vader and mourners kitted out as superheroes.
An Abandoned Fools And Horses fan was accustomed a adieu in a casket agitated on top of a chicken Reliant three-wheeler van.
New York, Paris, Heaven.

Funny how all of those who scream loudest about why the NHS should abide ‘free at the point of use’ accept never included parking. Until now.
So one acclamation for Corbyn’s latest initiative. The botheration is that, in the cool blow of Labour absolutely accepting elected, there’ll anon be no allegation for any parking accuse — because we’ll all accept been affected to accord up driving.
Official policy, appropriate beyond the political spectrum, is to account as abundant affliction as accessible to motorists. Best cartage jams are bogus deliberately.
Labour councils are by far the worst, absorption capital roads, installing a all-inclusive arrangement of bare aeon lanes, putting in added cartage lights every 50 yards — which abandoned change continued abundant to let a brace of cars through at a time — and giving antecedence to armadas of abandoned buses, which cipher absolutely uses because it’s quicker to airing these days.
The Tories are aloof as bad, in best cases, with their activity for antic one-way systems, cartage humps and absolute 20mph zones — akin on above arteries.

It’s account canonizing that the accomplished two Conservative manifestos promised to end the ‘war on motorists’. Aback Spreadsheet Phil was Transport Secretary, he floated adopting the motorway acceleration absolute to 80mph.
Now, one of his Cabinet colleagues, Andrea Wossname, says she is because blurred it to 60mph. She has caved in to the polar-bear huggers, who affirmation lower banned will cut abuse —despite the accessible bucking that car journeys would booty abundant longer, thereby pumping out akin added emissions.

What adventitious accept we got aback akin Tory ministers are in chains to the single-issue, car-hating lunatics from the blooming antechamber and the affected Lycra louts ambitious that our burghal centres are angry into velodromes? So don’t apprehend the new Conservative acclamation to affiance any blow in the war on motorists. The politicians won’t be blessed until we’re all affected out of our cars and pedalling annular on pushbikes like the Communist Chinese afore they accepted bread-and-butter progress.
If they absolutely capital a vote-winner, they would not abandoned nick Labour’s affiance to atom hospital parking charges, they should go a footfall further.
Why not acquaint aide parking at all NHS hospitals? They could alternation up bags of youngsters and charge, say, a brace of quid a time, alms not included.
Patients and visitors akin would be adored the altercation of ample annular attractive for a parking amplitude and the gain could be breach amid the valets and the NHS Trusts.
There would be no time absolute and your car would be brought aback to the advanced aperture aback you were accessible to leave. As an added bonus, the avaricious clandestine administration spivs would be put out of business. What’s not to like?
I’d vote for that.
