what another embarassment for the met police as batman scales the walls of buckingham palace.robin was rumbled but batman managed to get in.luckily the royal family weren't in residence but if they had it would have been disasterous.this man could have been a terrorist with explosives strapped round his waist,luckily for the royals and the met police he wasn't.and luckily the man who done it wasn't in america as reports said that if it was he would have been shot dead on the spot.do you think security in this country is a joke and do you feel safe in the knowledge that if this can happen what could happen to usxxx(:

Thankfully the Queen wasn't in the palace, but lots of people who work there were, if it had been a terrorist their lives would have been in danger. I think its trying to get a happy medium, America seem to go over the top and we seem too laid back about security. Sue

I know it's a joke ( except that it isn't funny). I was reading an article in the Sunday Express that said guarding the Royals is costing over £50million a year. I would like to know , if it costs that much, what are they doing for it . Not much - if this sort of thing can happen.

Not To worry, If there was any chance of them being terrorists, they would have been shot......by at least a taser.........it was,apparently seen that it was a publicity stunt so a softly softly stance was taken.......at least it got Blair off the screens for a short while.........
