U.S. embassy owes almost £4 million in UK congestion charges - GoFuckYourself.com

The U.S. embassy in London owes nearly 4 million pounds in traffic fines, the cash-strapped government said on Monday, naming and shaming diplomats who have ducked congestion charges and parking fees.

Staff at the U.S. diplomatic mission driving on the often overcrowded streets of central London have racked up 35,602 fines for not paying the 8 pound congestion charge payable for using the busiest roads at the busiest times.

lol, talk about ducking your fines. That's hilarious.

That's about 1/100th of What the U.N. owes New York City in unpaid parking tickets.

LOL I would love to see what we are owed from foreign diplomats. Frankly I think diplomatic immunity is kind of BS. For some laws... sure, maybe... for parking tickets? LOL, come on.

United Nations? diplomats from 180 countries

Agreed. But our national debt is catching up with yours. We sure could use the money. As Tesco (Uk's largest supermarket) would say : every little helps lol

This was discussed in the media here a while ago when these unpaid Congestion Charge payments and fines first came up and the American Embassy just said "fuck off the Congestion Charge is set as a punishment and we're not paying it AND you can shove your fines up your arse".

foreign diplomats in the US do the same... its all circular.

Who cares. The UK is meant to be walked on these days. Sometimes bitches love to be treated like bitches. UK is the prime example of this.

Sad to say you are right... I would love to come back with some patriotic BS .. but the truth is the UK citizens just bend over and take it up the fucking ass and say "thank you" ...

And yes I am a British citizen and they fucking disgust me most of the time at the lack of balls....

There are always exceptions to the rule, but the voice is never heard becasue of all the bitches screaming....

I still think your a cunt for pointing it out though lol

closer · 06-28-2010, 06:09 PM

That's not going to change any time soon... just a clever way from the UK politicians to deviate attention from real matters that count
