Oliver Hides takes your calls on Blue Badges, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and New Romantics.

Do you trust the Blue Badge system? Should newborn babies be screened for spinal muscular atrophy? Were you a New Romantic?

A disability campaigner from Caerphilly says people are experiencing accusations of fraud and resentment over their Blue Badges. This comes as a 蜜芽传媒 investigation finds fake, stolen or dead people's Blue Badges are being used to abuse the parking scheme that's meant to be for disabled drivers. So Blue Badges - do you trust the system?

Should Wales follow Scotland in screening newborn babies for Spinal Muscular Atrophy? The rare genetic disease can cause muscle weakness but if treatment is given early, it can effectively stop progression of the condition in its tracks. If your family has experience of the condition, we'd love to hear your story.

And The Blitz Club is being celebrated at a brand-new exhibition in London. It launched the careers of some huge artists in the New Romantic movement in the 1980s, so were you a New Romantic?
