Spain’s up at no 52 on the UN parking ticket corruption index, so that’s between the Ukraine and the Philippines, with average 12.7 unpaid violations per diplomat. The UK averages 0.0. Other crime news: Either the Azerbaijanis or the UAEers have stolen an “r” from Australia.
The data’s pretty old, so perhaps Spanish councils’ new zero-revenues, zero-tolerance policy will be filtering through. (Via Gregorio Luri)

If I could be arsed I’d make a joke contrasting this refusal to illegally park diplomatic cars in other people’s countries with our willingness to illegally park tanks in other people’s countries. But I can’t, so I won’t.
I was going to go down that path, but didn’t. Is this the New Politeness?
