This is What You Get When You Grovel to Donald

Post by Clive Evans »

Yankee diplomat's wife skips the country after a fatal accident. She Is a key witness. What is the chance of the yellow President handing her over. Disgusting!

Not sure what this has to do with Donald. The lady in question needs to return to the UK. Does she have diplomatic immunity?

Diplomatic immunity was not meant to apply to criminal or careless behavior it was intended to protect diplomats from frivolous lawsuits and prosecution. Unfortunately it seems to have become a license for diplomats and their families to do as they please with no consequences when they flee situations under cover of such they should be held accountable and returned to the country of the said violation.

Diplomatic immunity is abused by all and sundry, whether its Avoiding motoring offences or more serious criminal acts.
I once fell victim to just that. I was driving along Clarkenwell road when a car with French diplomatic plates cut inside me in the bus lay bye and slammed into the side of my car. He drove off but I caught up with him in traffic and forced him to get out of his car. He was dressed in a dinner suit and his wife had an evening gown on. They had obviously been to a function and he was absolutely rotten. He was that drunk he could barely stand up, and she was screaming abuse.
He refused to exchange details claiming diplomatic immunity. By chance a police car seeing the commotion pulled up, and I explained the circumstances. The drunkard produced his diplomatic passport, and the police officer said that there was nothing they could do, but to rub salt into the wound said he would have to breathalise me but let him drive off.
I wrote several times to the French embassy but they ignored me and at the end of the day I had to claim on my insurance.

Dear oh dear, what a story, feel really sorry for you and wow what a disgraceful episode and makes the law look a complete ass.
Yes the law as it stands needs changing, but how can that be done ?

You would think they could have sent you a case of fine vino as compensation at least.

What I havent said is that on the basis “of what goes round comes round”,by coincidence half a dozen or so French diplomatic cars parked by the embassy off Kensington road were found with their bodywork badly damaged . So there was justice after all.

The police should shoot her in the face, just like in that Lethal weapon film.

Or we could get one of our own diplomats to go and do it.

Agree, surely a comment like that on this forum is way out of order.
