This has been going on for ever and it’s pointless to still be totting up the charges, or pretending that they will ever pay.
They don’t recognise the charge and legally there is no way to force them to pay.
turns out all the people pushing through barriers at tube stations are American diplomats.
And how much do the other embassies owe? Pretty sure I saw an article last year about how much each owes, with the US out on top
thing is if we decide to forgive this debt they then there is precedent to refund other nations
so we’ll just allow them to rack up debt indefinitely
Clamp them.
Hey TFL, they don’t give a fk.
No idea what the point of this list is other then make them look bad and make us feel bad.
Notice how that’s money that TfL (London) should be getting, but isn’t due to global (UK) needs.
Just another way London is subsidising the rest of the country.
They’re never gonna pay and it’s fair enough, UK diplomats have a huge amount of unpaid NYC parking tickets as well. What’s the point of complaining, do TFL think they are stronger than the UN and entire international community?
They’ve been treating us very badly, very badly. We’re gonna make them pay their way and make London great again, believe me 🫲🫱
Just exempt them. I doubt the UK embassy pays in the US. There’s a congestion charge in NYC.
This explains why TfL is broke and why our fares go up each year!

Tarrif it!?
It has been reported on by Private Eye for more than a decade.
The US are not the only offenders.
They argue it is a tax and not a charge and are therefore exempt.
It is, in effect a tax on drivers… They are right.
There was a post a while back which had the list of all the countries and what they owed for CC and such.
IIRC there was a country that owed like £50 and redditors were gonna pay off their debt 😂
That could go nicely towards the Bakerloo Line extension pot
American diplomats commit vehicular manslaughter and get away with it so why would you think they would pay parking fines?
Wealthy/entitled people are too poor to pay tax. They’re hardly going to pay congestion charges
Yes I’m conflating things. It makes me less angry
Gov do not worry about that, they only chase medium working class
This will never get paid.
I mean we spend billions on people coming into the country by boat so what’s £15 million amongst friends
They ain’t the only one. Lots of other countries don’t pay either. This why yall pay taxes so others don’t.
Just don’t let Marine One land until they wire us the funds.
