The American Thinker Blog<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.”  <\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

\n

“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.””<\/font> <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
