Does Nigel Farage think being a politician means he is disabled? Surely that’s the only reason for his latest outrage?
It seems he and his chauffeur (all right for some, isn’t it?) thought it would be a good idea to take up a ‘disabled’ parking spot outside a London Marks & Spencer store while he did a 45-minute shop there.

Seeing this story on X triggered a memory for This Writer, of another politician who did the same. Here he is:
Yes – former Tory Chancellor Gideon George Osborne, who cut benefits for disabled people, was also caught using a disabled parking bay, back in 2013.
At the time, I wrote:
After spending three years pummelling the sick and disabled people of the United Kingdom, this arrogant little brat steals one of their parking spaces.
Does this man have no shame at all?
Gideon was famously a member of Oxford University’s restaurant-smashing Bullingdon Club. He got into Oxford on a ‘demyship’ – a special kind of scholarship for “poor scholars of good morals and dispositions, fully equipped for study”.
Poor? He’s the millionaire son of Sir Peter Osborne, 17th Baronet, who co-founded the firm of fabric and wallpapers designers Osborne & Little.
His morals speak for themselves.
So do those of Nigel Farage.
How many other politicians are doing this habitually?
