Bureaucracy Is Ridiculous Regardless Of Where It Is Located

The American Thinker Blog posted a story today about a British soldier who returned to England after being seriously wounded in Afghanistan.   Lance Corporal Johno Lee lost his right leg in an explosion in Afghanistan in 2008.

Upon his return to England, Lance Corporal Lee was fitted with a prosthetic leg.  He has been able to function very well, driving to work and living as normal a life as possible.  When Lance Corporal Lee applied for a disabled parking permit with the Notinghamshire County Council, the permit was refused.  He was told that he was still young and "may get better." 

According to the article:

"The disabled war veteran said "I replied that they possibly did not quite understand the situation and I thought it unlikely my leg would grow back.""

The Council has stated that it plans to meet with Lance Corporal Lee to review his situation.  Hopefully, he will receive his disabled parking permit quickly.

The only comfort I can find in this story is the fact that bureaucracy is as bad in Britain as it is in America.  I do wonder how carefully the people in charge read the soldier's application.  Possibly this case will cause the Council to review such applications more carefully in the future.
