Madam, – According to a Northern report (Home News, February 16), “A total of 5,142 blue badges issued to those with severe mobility problems and which give entitlement to parking concessions were registered to dead people.” Well, fair enough. There are few mobility problems more severe than being dead, and nobody with greater entitlement to parking concessions than this particular group. On second thoughts, are these the same 5.142 who vote early and vote often in every Northern election? – Yours, etc,
