  1. very extensive list of stubborn minorities, if I may say so.

  2. We could take advantage of a legal void and we finished so low? Wtf is wrong with our ambassador?

  3. Spain paying that bill is going to bankrupt their entire economy. Best let them off so we’re still allowed in for the balconing season.

  4. “small minority” – shows list of literally every relevant country on the planet

  5. Ok guys, how we split this time? Germany pays Spain and Portugal, and Netherlands pays Italy and Greece ?

  6. How the fuck are we not in this? We invented post datated bills.

  7. London against the ~~World~~ stubborn minority. Now, I’m surprised the US Embassy doesn’t pay… what about the special relationship ?

  8. The sign is right in saying it‘s not a tax, but a charge for a service.

    However, diplomatic immunity also applies to civil courts, so they can’t really do anything about it other than either this attempt at public shaming or just writing a nicely worded letter asking for payment.

    Which is why they use the phrase „representation through diplomatic channels“, which just means the UK government just asking the foreign government to pretty please tell their diplomats to pay their bills.

    Also, as they are not a state, they don‘t have standing before the ICJ. So, their threat of pursuing this matter to the ICJ is again just them writing a nicely worded letter to the UK government asking for them to peruse this matter instead.

    Which is about the same level of a threat as „I‘m telling my mom“.

  9. So italy like lannister?

    Wow

  10. I thought the Japanese were meant to be a high trust obedient society

  11. If your country isn’t on that list you are a bunch of suckers.

    Come on, Italy! You don’t even pay traffic fines at home!

  12. German embassy not being an upright citizen and paying taxes?

    How the mighty have fallen

    Of course I was expecting all the PIGS here, too broke

  13. Fuck you Barry, if you want that money give us Gibraltar back.

  14. £1.4m from Cyprus!? I’m surprised the Cypriot High Commissioner even gets out of bed, much less goes to work.

  15. I think the ICJ has bigger issues on their table than Barry’s traffic fees

  16. Gib marbls

    Delet debt bc u late

  17. You just know someone from Nigeria is going to scam us. ” If you give me your bank details I can send you the monies we owe”

  18. I’m very, very, very surprised that the Portuguese Embassy is not listed. Are you sure about those numbers? Very sus..

  19. NEVER! Ask the Americans and Japanese, we are small fry!

    Let’s get it trending, rolls right off the tongue! 👌

  20. Oh god for a moment I thought we paid 🇫🇷🇫🇷

  21. Spain and Greece true to our name

  22. Americans, Indians, Chinese, Russians, and Nigerians all being near the top doesn’t surprise me at all…but Japan??

    Someone do a welfare check on the Japanese ambassador, poor sod may have kicked it months ago and his underlings were too afraid to disturb him to check themselves

  23. Not the right group to post this. Your former colonies are the ones taking you for a fool

  24. Make it a tax as it should be, and Greece will pay Germany’s as well, now that i think about we will pay what everyone on that list owes, deal?

  25. Absolutely not surprised in the slightest by #1 on this list

  26. I was so so happy to see Germany on that list…that shit is just dystopian money theft. When you dont pay (something that is not as clearly passed onto people as one might suggest) you get fined with some outrageous, even more stupid fine…its a tourist trap first and foremost because its just not said anywhere important enough to say they actually try the effort to transmit that information properly to humans…

  27. Absolute bollocks that it’s not a tax just because they’ve decided not to call it that. Maybe if they are really loud and clear about ducks not being birds that will make that true too

  28. I don’t know what a congestion charge is, but are you telling me the Italian embassy is paying for it?
