Hamish Macdonell - Labour's car-park gaffe
IN the ongoing war of brinkmanship over hospital car-parking charges (SNP says it will abolish charges in non-PFI hospitals, opposition says it will do more), Labour has taken the ultimate step.
"Labour will abolish hospital car parking," declared the Scottish Labour website today.
And while this decision to axe all car parking completely might appeal to the Green vote, it will probably not go down too well with nurses, doctors and patients who have to take their cars to hospitals because Labour re-located them all to the outskirts of our towns and cities and converted their previous city-centre sites into offices.
I am sure there should have been a "charges" at the end of that headline, but it must have got lost in the system - much like Labour's sense of humour, no doubt.

At least they didn't say "Labour will abolish hospitals", even though that might appeal to the Tory vote.
