U.K. royal security flaws reported

[Sub Atomic]

LONDON, Nov. 19 — Buckingham Palace launched an investigation Wednesday into how it hired a journalist with a fake reference to be one of the servants assigned to serve President Bush’s party.

THE DAILY MIRROR newspaper, claiming to have exposed a security breach at Buckingham Palace, said its reporter had been given full access to Queen Elizabeth II’s residence on his first day on the job two months ago.
The Mirror said reporter Ryan Parry had been due to serve breakfast Wednesday morning to key Bush aides. It said Parry quit his job as a royal footman at midnight Tuesday.
“We keep being told this is the biggest security operation of all time and it seems to me to beggar belief that we could get to a situation, as we did last night, where our journalist was detailed with serving breakfast on the presidential floor this morning and at the state banquet tonight,” Mirror editor Pierson Morgan said.

Palace 'security scandal' exposed
From correspondents in London

A BRITISH newspaper had uncovered a serious breach of security at Buckingham Palace, the royal residence in London where US President George W. Bush is staying during his state visit to Britain, the paper said today.

A reporter for the Daily Mirror tabloid posed undercover for two months as a footman at the palace, where he was due to serve breakfast to Bush's top aides this morning, the newspaper said.

The journalist, Ryan Parry, wrote: "Had I been a terrorist intent on assassinating the Queen or American president George Bush, I could have done so with absolute ease.

"Indeed, this morning I would have been serving breakfast to key members of his government, including National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice and US Secretary of State Colin Powell."

3. heh heh (evil laugh)

oops! Not supposed to think that!

Jeez....how many scandals can The Royal Palace endure? It just seems like every week now they have reached a new low....or is it a new high?

Buckingham Palace must have its own Scandal Office, solely for the purpose of creating new scandals that will put England on the map, or will sell more Enquirer and Daily Globe. Some new tawdry detail about how a royal family member has untold secrets that are about to be divulged by some butler or a toothpaste squeezer servant.

Or maybe the Garbage Man has some new stunning facts.
