Diplomats snub congestion charge

[Mailman]

actually Mailman, I was thinking, if UK diplomats pay toll charges on US roads, then US diplomats should pay the congestion charge. After all, the only difference between the 2 is that there is no physical toll on UK roads. But in principle, it is the same thing. Do not assume that because the collection method is different, they are different charge types.

There is a slight difference between paying a toll to use a French motor way and the congestion charge to drive in to central London. The easiest way to see the difference is how the money is applied after its collected...obviously the Frogs reinvest that toll charge back in to their motorway while the congestion charge gets syphoned off to Kens retirement fund!
