Hillary Clinton may have served as US First Lady, Senator for New York and Secretary of State, but all that failed to impress a Westminster City Council traffic warden who slapped an £80 parking ticket on her vehicle – reduced to £40 if the possible future leader of the free world pays up within 14 days.
...
According to a photographer, her bodyguards were less than diplomatic, leaping of out of the grey people carrier into the drizzle after the unidentified warden issued the ticket. Voices were raised, a badge was flashed and fingers pointed, but nothing fazed the attendant, something Londoners have long grown used to.
...
Despite her exemplary track record, she is currently unemployed and does not enjoy diplomatic status or number plates. But it would have cost the entourage of a woman worth an estimated £20 million only £3.30 to park in the coveted spot opposite the historic think tank in St James's Square.

... and an ugly stick too.
Not-of-Interest.
Saw this last evening.
Central London traffic is awful and it’s highly regulated. They are very serious about this stuff. Welcome to the hoi poloi, Hill.
Good for the Warden.

Sorry I missed it. I was in the shower.
I would imagine that any major city would take someone parking a wide load without a permit serious.
awwwwwwwwwww poor Hitlary..but hey, what difference does it make
Good for you.
I did a title search and it didn’t come up. I missed it and others probably did too.
Would’nt it be ‘funny’ if Scotland Yard had her arrested and brought to the British Embassy while awaiting her passport’s completion? What? I thought DIMS always favored international law over American Law!
Just thought that others might appreciate the comments on the other threads.
Thanks.
Did her fat @ss take up 2 parking spots again?
It was hilarious. The SS waved their arms, showed their badges and tried to intimidate the meter guy. But, the meter guy stood his ground.
Too much junk in her trunk?
