I wondered whether someone would post this. I nearly did yesterday but couldn’t be bothered in the end.

The EU is not a nation state. It can send its representatives wherever it wants and if other countries, for their own reasons, want to grant their mission staff full diplomatic privileges that’s their business. However, we’re not obliged to do so. I see no reason why we should be giving Eurocrats carte blanche to ignore their parking tickets. They can pay up like the rest of us.

Unless of course the EU is actually a federal state in which case it can have the diplomatic status and France, Germany and the rest can surrender it...
