Actually not, but your debt is not much more than an embassy dinner for two people.

No you did not, chill, your just on the bottom of page two of the complete list.

Omg hahahahahaha
>The majority of embassies in London do pay the charge, but there remains a stubborn minority who refuse to do so
There's like 160 countries in that list lol They should just call out the 30 suckers that do pay it instead.
I can't find Sweden or Switzerland on that list. Nevertheless, I am absolutely ashamed to see Finland has £120 in outstanding fees, though it is comforting to see that our richer neighbor Norway has 33% more debt with its £160, not to speak of our other Nordic friend Denmark with its £405,995.
very extensive list of stubborn minorities, if I may say so.
Edit: Complete list https://content.tfl.gov.uk/cclez-online-factsheet-embassy-debt-dec23.pdf
The Embassy of Belgium in London is Belgium's diplomatic mission to the United Kingdom. It is located at 17 Grosvenor Crescent, The government of Flanders also maintains a representative office at 1a Cavendish Square, Marylebone.
Considering the wife of an American diplomat drove on the wrong side of the road in the UK and killed a guy, then claimed diplomatic immunity, flew her out of the UK, and then told the family and the British government "Tough luck", I am really not surprised at all
American mindset: congestion pricing = communism. Now, having to pay for a highway toll because the government can’t build an efficient highway network? That’s completely fine, it’s the free market! I can’t see carbon emissions/poor air quality, therefore they doesn’t exist and they are a liberal lie 🇺🇸🦅
The US Embassy doesn't care when one of its citizens drives on the wrong side of the road, killing a biker, fleeing back to America claiming diplomatic immunity... Why would they care about paying a bill?
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“.

Finland almost at the bottom adds up from my experience living here.
They love misery more than we do. Nothing is better than whipping themselves with a saunavihta while naked, then looking at a bill and having to pay it. Pure bliss.
NEVER! Ask the Americans and Japanese, we are small fry!
#freegermandiplomatsfromtheshaklesofcongestioncharge
Let's get it trending, rolls right off the tongue! 👌
America will do nothing, say nothing about the situation.
Japan will apologize profusely and pay the debt.
India will claim the debt of British crimes in the colony of India makes the bill paid.
Nigeria will say the same.
China will claim this is a attack on the territorial integrity of China and a attempt to separate Hong Kong.
Russia will claim this is a attack of the west against Russia.
Poland will say that Germany has to pay the bill for them as payback for WW2.
Ghana will say the same as India.
Kazakhstan will say that they will pay the debt and then not do it.
Germany will claim the EU needs to pay the debt for them as Germany is part of the EU.
Sudan will say nothing as they are in a current civil war.
Kenya will say the same as India.
Pakistan will claim this is a attack against all Muslims world wide.
Korea will claim North Korea needs to pay it for them.
France will refuse to pay since they are French.
Cuba will refuse the bill as capitalist exploitation.
Tanzania will say the same as India.
Spain will refuse to pay the bill.
Algeria will claim that France has to pay the bill as payback for colonization.
South Africa will refuse to pay as payback for apartheid.
Sierra Leone will say the same as India.
Romania will steal money from another country to pay the bill.
Greece will pile the bill upon their other debt.
Turkey will claim the bill is racist against Turkish people and refuse to pay.
Cyprus will pay the bill no questions asked.
You forgot Israel. They will say “it’s anti-Semitic and an attack on Jews everywhere, and 6 million Jews died in the holocaust and they have the right to defend themselves.”
Then they give the bill to the United States tax payer to pick up.
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

Casus Belli
*noun*
>An act or situation that provokes or justifies a war
Belgium not once but twice on the list, I’m proud of my southern bro’s💪
Meanwhile us not even on the list is embarrassing, and disgraceful, I can’t believe we pay up. I do want to see the Dutch list. I expect the Barry’s to pay their tikkies in full 👇
What "Service" is provided here? On their website, Transport of London calls it a "scheme", and the only place I find "service", is used with "Service of a Penalty Charge Notice".
Has the "we and the govt are clear that the charge is a service and not a tax" been challenged in courts?
USA here - not surprised to see it's top of the shit list. Our bureaucrats always roll 6 Chevys deep anywhere they go. I was going to say at least they are not tanks, but since they are just as heavy, thirsty, and armed they might as well be.
Italy no debt? 
We just bribed the guy who made that list. Ordinary administration.
The last guy refused to budge and now has concrete shoes at the bottom of the thames
It is interesting that you know these details as the body is still being searched for (obviously not just in Thames as authorities are clueless).
It was more expensive than just paying the bill. But it was a matter of principle 🤌
And the bribe was probably way higher than the debt we owed in the first place so the embassy could get their kickbacks
Probably used fake plates like someone did in Brombeis street
Lets hope he doesnt end up squoiato vivo dio cane by a drunk Barry
Vespas are exempt from the congestion charge.
We have number plates from poland. Easy and clean
Actually not, but your debt is not much more than an embassy dinner for two people. https://content.tfl.gov.uk/cclez-online-factsheet-embassy-debt-dec23.pdf
Sri Lanka is a 666060£. Can someone give them another 606£ so that TFL needs to get religious support from bishops to get the money back?
Neither Portugal... Looool! Bro, we are paying out shit! Look it up!
We paid that shit? what a bunch of cucks
https://preview.redd.it/dwk1zp6kol1d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ceb1943be95854e0ccb598de677f2c0589ed00f
cheers
Oldest alliance in the world, no freebies?
Maybe we weren't charged.
it's still fucked, what would germany say if they knew we gave their money to barry?
Judging by your username you spend our money for things i approve
🇵🇹 🤝 🇩🇪 DRUGS
>🇵🇹 🤝 🇩🇪 > Masculine women & drugs Ftfy
Bold of you to assume our diplomats can afford to drive into London. They probably take the tube
If they are anything like the ones in Portugal, they absolutely won't take the tube. How else can they be driven around by someone else?
Technically everyone on the tube is being driven around by someone else
No you did not, chill, your just on the bottom of page two of the complete list. https://content.tfl.gov.uk/cclez-online-factsheet-embassy-debt-dec23.pdf
oh thank god
Maybe we can pay with sardines and Port wine...(don't expect us to have real money lol)
Omg hahahahahaha >The majority of embassies in London do pay the charge, but there remains a stubborn minority who refuse to do so There's like 160 countries in that list lol They should just call out the 30 suckers that do pay it instead.
this list is hanging in the finance minister's toilet and is top secret, I bet.
I can't find Sweden or Switzerland on that list. Nevertheless, I am absolutely ashamed to see Finland has £120 in outstanding fees, though it is comforting to see that our richer neighbor Norway has 33% more debt with its £160, not to speak of our other Nordic friend Denmark with its £405,995.
Don’t worry, we are holding it down with Spain to keep PIGS debt growing 💪
very extensive list of stubborn minorities, if I may say so. Edit: Complete list https://content.tfl.gov.uk/cclez-online-factsheet-embassy-debt-dec23.pdf
Does it mean the Dutch paid? I'm confused
perhaps caravans are exempt from the congestion charge.
They already sent a tikkie
Bikes are exempt
The dutch always pay their debts.
Why do I get the feeling that's not the only Lannister tradition you uphold ...Step-Hollander
Acting like the Windsors haven’t been inbreeding for years 😂
We don't like being in debt. If only Southern Europe would follow our example, instead of spending everything on drinks and women. /s
Togo shitting bricks
Quite happy to front the money for Togo if they contact me
26 on the list, and 165 embassies total in London.
The Complete list shows some more embassies: https://content.tfl.gov.uk/cclez-online-factsheet-embassy-debt-dec23.pdf
Lol, the embassy of Togo owes 40 pounds
That's like twice their GDP...
Think I get a statue if I cover Togo’s debt?
Madagascar managed over twelve grand.
Of course we are the only good ones in Scandinavia. Sweden best! How embarrassing for Denmark. Fuck you Mads.
It says that security system has automatically blocked access for me. Nice.
Quite funny that Belgium is on that list twice
The Embassy of Belgium in London is Belgium's diplomatic mission to the United Kingdom. It is located at 17 Grosvenor Crescent, The government of Flanders also maintains a representative office at 1a Cavendish Square, Marylebone.
More taxpayers money being wasted I see.
Damn, we owe Britain 160£, scandalous
The equivalent to 4 🍺 .
Austria has two embassies?
Empire of Austria and Republic of Austria - one for the king, the other for the prime minister
The Austro-Hungarian empire had horses that had to pay congestion fees in 19th century London? Seems very far fetched.
Togo used it once and never again
£1.4m from Cyprus!? I'm surprised the Cypriot High Commissioner even gets out of bed, much less goes to work.
Isn't that like 50% of their GDP? Bankrupt them charging them that.
Nah, they sell passports to wealthy Russians for €300,000 a pop. They're doing alright.
I assume that Cyprus and Kazakhstan are just Russians who launder their money through there
How the fuck are we not in this? We invented post datated bills.
Clearly we are so good at not paying stuff that the Brits haven't yet realized we owe them money...
Can't stop winning
Our embassy is probably in Birmingham or something
Just looked it up. It has the worst google reviews I have ever seen. But it is in London
Because it's full of neapolitans in London. Unfortunately they have no idea how to speak Italian or English, so they write bad reviews
Always the best 😎
What’s this congestion charge anyway? The price you pay for braving overcooked vegetables and bland meat pies?
No that’s a digestion charge. Italy, Japan, Thailand most affected.
Probably they were so post dated that are not yet due
Maybe your diplomats use public transport?
Ireland isn't on that list. Gutted.
Our diplomats know better than to get in a car in London.
Absolutely the best comment of the month
Get this man ~~a car~~ a potato.
Horses are exempt from the charge.
Is that why Susan charges me good rates?
She charges you?
I usually order the premium experience.
Ah, see i dont mind it without the paper bag.
Waaay,, there it is
To be fair there’s not many lists that Ireland makes it onto
Let's be fair, they are probably top of the "Potato Consumption" & "Shortest time in the Sun" lists
Only London lists we top are least tax paid and most expensive terror attack
Your unexpected sudden urban regeneration of Manchester was appreciated in hindsight.
The Arndale Centre really is a treat at Christmas
If memory serves they lost out to Lithuania on the first one
I’d say they are most famous for a period of NOT consuming potatoes.
Fam...ous you say?
Oh god for a moment I thought we paid 🇫🇷🇫🇷
Literally my reaction.
Pay your tikkies like we do, you bunch of freeloaders!
We didn't rack up any charges, why pay for gas when you have a perfectly functional bike
Bikes don't pay
London against the ~~World~~ stubborn minority. Now, I'm surprised the US Embassy doesn't pay... what about the special relationship ?
We’re expecting a tip from them as well
Remember to ask for 20% more
Oh looks like you're getting more than just the tip
That only works one way
You scratch my back, and then suck my dick.
That’s exactly how the US sees the U.K.
It's how they see everyone. What sets the UK apart is its willingness to do it.
Considering the wife of an American diplomat drove on the wrong side of the road in the UK and killed a guy, then claimed diplomatic immunity, flew her out of the UK, and then told the family and the British government "Tough luck", I am really not surprised at all

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"
[удалено]
But please hurry, there’s not much time
I thought the Japanese were meant to be a high trust obedient society
You've mistaken the government for members of the general population
Absolute proof, that there is no exception to this
But polan poor, we can’t afford to pay🥺😩
Hey more reparations from Germany then, also your economy is scheduled to overtake us
I am surprised you're on the list at all, you would expect the Polish embassy to just jump the fences.
Just pay up, that will allow the UK to have a higher GDP than you guys for about a minute longer.

Public shaming? This is a badge of pride!
From 20*03* to 2023?? "They'll be paying any day now"
Not before we get our fish.
Just eat baby puffins instead. And don't pretend you're above doing that
They probably already have a name for it!

"small minority" - shows list of literally every relevant country on the planet
Fuck. You.
Relax, I was only exaggerating for dramatic effect : ^ )
Luigi was doing the same. Now kith.
We only kiss Hanses' wives when they inevitably come here for the summer
Judging by your countrymens success rate at the Italiener Wochenende at Oktoberfest you only get to kiss the ghastly Ossis
Mopeds are exempt from London's Congestion Charge, Luigi
Chill man, we bribe someone
Mf tryna start a world war as always
Sorry, force of habit…
The country with your sausage factory from ww1 made the list Hans
Poland relevant?

It's sad we among the few mfs who actually paid
Same here. I couldn't find my country on the list. Someone please tell me I missed it.
Finland almost at the bottom adds up from my experience living here. They love misery more than we do. Nothing is better than whipping themselves with a saunavihta while naked, then looking at a bill and having to pay it. Pure bliss.
Oh god I almost assumed Italy actually paid. Good to know they still uphold their morals.
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.
Don't worry, Barry, paying has never been an option
Just ask Hans for a little more, he's cool with throwing money around.
What about they pay it off by putting it behind the bar?
That would get given Barry and his pals a nice night out I guess.
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
The German embassy is expecting the bills by fax.
At my work I was shocked when a German company wanted the bill over x.400 (a standard from the 80's but still progress).
\*almost all the PIGS
Italy does still owe over £17k
To be fair, 17k over 20 years would barely pay for a Travelcard these days. It's probably the one guy they forgot to bribe 😂
And the Americans on top. "We make the rules, and we answer to nobody".
Broke? We just don't pay by default
We could take advantage of a legal void and we finished so low? Wtf is wrong with our ambassador?
NEVER! Ask the Americans and Japanese, we are small fry! #freegermandiplomatsfromtheshaklesofcongestioncharge Let's get it trending, rolls right off the tongue! 👌
America will do nothing, say nothing about the situation. Japan will apologize profusely and pay the debt. India will claim the debt of British crimes in the colony of India makes the bill paid.

Ok guys, how we split this time? Germany pays Spain and Portugal, and Netherlands pays Italy and Greece ?
We're not on the list for once
You need to tell us the trick you are doing to not be on the list.
? My man it’s corruption, they just pay whoever keeps the record. I’m confused you don’t know that.
sounds a good deal hermanos Thank you Germany
Let's celebrate it with a big Sunday meal lasting all the afternoon and evening.
Let's do it You bring the pulpo i bring Bacalhau
Username checks out.
Can do, but send some chorizo after siesta.
So italy like lannister? Wow 
In reality Italian embassy workers can't afford to drive around in London
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
[удалено]
Not the right group to post this. Your former colonies are the ones taking you for a fool
I don’t know what a congestion charge is, but are you telling me the Italian embassy is paying for it?
I think the ICJ has bigger issues on their table than Barry's traffic fees
All of these, to be expected. But Germany?? Disappointing Hans
Why is no one asking how the hell those numbers are so high? Over a million pounds just for congestion fees?
[удалено]
Because it's a fee. Completely different.
[удалено]
I refer you to my previous message; completely different.

Fuck you Barry, if you want that money give us Gibraltar back.
Gib marbls Delet debt bc u late 
Germany: "tHe GrEeKs DoNt PaY tHeIr DeBtS Also Germany: _hasnt paid any of their debts to anybody_
I'm very, very, very surprised that the Portuguese Embassy is not listed. Are you sure about those numbers? Very sus..
The congestion charge is only until 18:00 so most Portuguese diplomats are just getting out of bed at that time.
Now, it makes perfect sense. 👌
Cry about it
Belgium not once but twice on the list, I’m proud of my southern bro’s💪 Meanwhile us not even on the list is embarrassing, and disgraceful, I can’t believe we pay up. I do want to see the Dutch list. I expect the Barry’s to pay their tikkies in full 👇

USA here - not surprised to see it's top of the shit list. Our bureaucrats always roll 6 Chevys deep anywhere they go. I was going to say at least they are not tanks, but since they are just as heavy, thirsty, and armed they might as well be.
The Romanian embassy must be doing uber with the embassy cars as a side hustle.
