That does not sound like a good idea. I would expect a country would want to maintain sovereignty of their own territory.
Of course embassies have something similar to what you describe, but if an embassy is breaking the law, the diplomats can be expelled.
UK following USA downhill.
Is there a right time for this?
I may be naive, but I honestly didn’t think UK would allow this, when Starmer clearly stated the war on Iran is illegal. Especially not after USA has been caught in several war crimes.
Goddam UK, didn’t Starmer say he WOULDN’T allow this?
This is participation in war crimes!
Yes the sequence I mentioned those other brands is not accidental, with Renault right after BMW and Mercedes. Obviously the Renault 5 is a way cheaper car, but it’s really been praised by reviewers here too, and called the most charming car available for years. For some reason though thew popularity of the Renault 5 has dropped, and for Renault the Scenic is now the most popular model here.
The current top seller here is the Skoda Elroq. While the top selling brand is VW. with the ID.4 being the #2 best selling model.
Page in Danish, but these are the most significant numbers from Denmark:
The charts should work independent of language.

Just found a newer stat, and Renault 5 sales are just fine, so IDK what the previous article was on about? Renault 5 is the 9th most sold model car in January this year.

Renault has passed all Stelantis brands, and the Fiat 500 was quite popular too, but for some reason not even available anymore?
Included this as an edit to my comment above instead.
Country of sycophants.
Edit:
To those that downvote, this is not just the officer, it is also his colleagues that URGED the ambulance to take the officer instead. And finally the ambulance people should CLEARLY have deemed it more important to take the gunshot victim, which the ambulance was called for! This makes it a bad decission not by 1 person, but by at least 5 people who agreed on this insane unprofessional decision all around.
But this anecdote is of course not the reason for my comment, it is everything about American society, American society is based on psychopathy, which is the reason Trump was able to win twice. How could Trump win the election twice unless people were fine with his obvious malignant narcissism.
And if you say it isn’t obvious, it’s because you suffer the same problem. Because IT IS FUCKING OBVIOUS to any normal person.
Israel is a terrorist state, and shame on everybody who helps them.

IDK if it was Bosch, if so they were obvioiusly complicit.
But more than 17 brands did it, IDK if you saw my edit that includes a wiki page on the issue. Otherwise I think you should have a look.
part of the restitution was to build EV
Yes this is true, it was an agreement with the German government. Which has led to VW being the absolute leader in sales of BEV cars in EU today. Which also makes it insane when people complain that VW didn’t start soon enough, when they were way ahead of the competition already 5 years ago.
Today there are other good options from all over the world, Obviously BMW and Mercedes, but also Renault, Hyundai, Volvo (Geely), Ford. Even Stelantis has models that aren’t absolute crap now (here in Europe). And Toyota came with their first BEV last year, and that is AFAIK also pretty decent. But not VW group level IMO. From VW group we also have Skoda, Audi, Cupra and Porsche.
With the VW native brand being the most popular BEV brand here in Denmark.
Goddam people keep on with that dieselgate story as if it were only VW.
VW was just unlucky to be the first that were caught cheating on it. Every other diesel manufacturer did it too.
Toyota had to pay a $1.6 billion fine for the exact same thing, but nobody EVER complains about them?!
VW weren’t even the worst!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_emissions_scandal
As you can see in the chart, VW were actually among the least “offensive” models. With Chrysler and Hyundai having cars that were 3 times worse! Honda, Toyota, Ford and many others were way worse than VW.

It’s funny with the hate against VW for not transitioning fast enough, I’ve seen so many times here on lemmy.
When the worlds biggest manufacturer Toyota is about 5 years behind VW.
All the Japanese manufacturers have really dropped the ball on EV. AFAIK Honda only has a single BEV model available in EU, and the range isn’t very good.
While VW group has more than 10 models. Even Stelantis is doing better in this segment than any Japanese manufacturer.
What didn’t increase its cost during the crisis? Renewables.
Absolutely, but you shouldn’t replace nuclear with coal, you should build the renewable infrastructure FIRST, and not help create a completely unnecessary shortage that has to be filled in a panic. Closing the nuclear plants was replaced with coal not renewables, except slowly as that capacity is being built.
It was also a double standard, as import of French electricity from nuclear power was still imported.
It was such a shit show, although I agree we should definitely invest in renewables going forward.
Absolutely no, closing the plants made the energy crisis way worse when Russia closed for supplies.
Now you are making zero sense, since the OP joke was clearly derogatory.
Merkel made some pretty stupid mistakes. Dependency on Russian gas was one, and closing the nuclear plants at the worst possible time was another.
I bet that those 2 are part in why the German economy is currently slowing down.
Pfff 1TWh is only 1000 GWh. 😜
/joke just in case.
Every other country should stay home too. This is little different from having the Cup in Russia while they are in an illegal war against Ukraine.
FIFA too is a bunch of criminals. There can be no doubt about it, when they arrange a special FIFA peace price to give to Trump, that is 100% bribery, meaning FIFA engaged openly in corruption of a political leader.
Boycott USA.
