Reporter Infiltrates Palace Guard

Buckingham Palace.

Security at the palace was highlighted in 2003 when a Daily Mirror journalist managed to get a job as a footman in the months leading up to a visit by US president George Bush.

Ryan Parry worked for two months in the palace after using a false reference to get the job.

The tabloid breach prompted Buckingham Palace to review security and appoint a new director of security.

Yeah, OK, they caught her.
I don't actually give a whit about British palace security.

The only thing that interested me about this article was the use of the word 'pecuniary.'

Old word. It made me think of Latin class, and it made me think of Monty.

Again? Seems to me this happens every once in awhile.

"pecuniary" is a great SAT word.

It's also featured in a song the the movie Mary Poppins.

You have to be really smart to teach your own language...

(hey, Monty, have you ever noticed that the child prrodigies excel in math, but never in English? See, math and science are just for kids!)

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
