Nigeria owe £7m. I am sure if you write nicely, they will give you their bank details

No wonder Trump is using his helicopter to get around London wherever possible.

If only there was a prominent American in town to ask about it.

They where talking about this when Obama was in charge. This is old news.

Hasn't this always been the case? Back in the 1960s people were outraged because no diplomatic staff in the London embassies ever paid parking fines.

I dare say we could deduct it from our bill for US defence of Europe?If we ever paid anything.

I wont pay the parking ticket I got in New York this weekend in protest

This is why mortgage and finance companies do not typically lend to people who have diplomatic immunity

Threaten to build a wall around their embassy and not let the feckers out.
