If the merc always parks like that, isn’t that an offence - no idea on the details, but I always thought you were not supposed to park facing the flow of traffic overnight. If the Toyota was there first, merc driver is in the wrong even if he thinks he owns that part of the public highway.
.
The only bit of nit picking is when does "night" commence with relation to this rule, and did it apply in this situation",
Still a dork though.

An old office I used to work in occasionally overlooked a supermarket car park with very limited disabled spaces. I'd often see and old chap drive in, drop his misses off in the drop off/pick up bay then he'd park in a disabled space, put the blue badge on the dash and have a snooze. His misses would come out of the supermarket an hour or so later and he'd pick her up again from the drop off/pick up bay.Plenty of parking bays were vacant on this street, and being a bank holiday, resident-permit restrictions didn’t apply.
So, why park on a junction / mini roundabout, on double yellows, at an angle and block one side of the road causing inevitable traffic and pedestrian delays?
It’s a Velar, so perhaps it’d suffered a terminal ‘failure to proceed’? Nope.
Driver suddenly felt unwell and had to stop? Nope.
Momentarily stopped to pick-up or drop-off a passenger? Nope.
Unmarked police car or doctor responding to an emergency call? Nope.
An inconsiderate, stupid and arrogant bellend randomly decided to stop for 15 minutes to check his ‘socials’ on his phone? Yep.

No one leaves their car like that without realising that they've blocked the road - so quite deliberate?Even if there is some dispute with the Mercedes owner it still affects everyone else.
The actions of a complete knob.
I can just as easily picture a scenario where the Toyota parked first and the Merc blocked the road subsequently because ‘they always park there’ and ‘everyone should know and revolve around them’.

Another self entitled twunt, very limited space in the road, parks his ginormous car in the middle of the gap and walks away, bit closer to either car and I am sure a smaller car would fit in,
May even another red jobbie would fit in
This is my absolute pet hate, yep move it a few feet forward, zero impact on you, and a huge big benefit for the next person looking to park up. Grrrr May even another red jobbie would fit in
