Protester climbs palace gate (Protestor at Buckingham Palace)

Evening Standard (London) ^ | 11/17/2003 | haymarket

[Haymarket]

Police were tonight attempting to persuade a protester to climb down from the front gates of Buckingham Palace.

The lone female demonstrator is thought to have climbed to the top of the metal gate at around 4pm unfurling a banner and what appeared to be the US flag.

Wearing a fluorescent yellow jacket, which is also thought to have a message on the back, she ignored police attempts to persuade her to come down.

Nice security.

Havent the bobbies heard of bean bag rounds?

[finnman69]

Another example of dumb protesters making signs so small no one can read them. Not too mention, hanging US flags upside down and writing on them will really piss off a lot of Americans.

[finnman69]

haven't these people ever heard of electric fences?

[areafiftyone]

Wimpy security if you ask me. This lady seems harmless but the next one might not be. Jeeze they really need a little better security around the palace.

[finnman69]

Imagine if someone tried this at the White House.

I say we give Britain to the French and Germans... and then we can just kick all their arses at once in the upcoming war.

[mewzilla]

Or cattle prods. Maybe 43 could give them some.

My cousin and I used to shoot rotten eggs off of fence posts with our BB guns. If I can be of any assistance....

I'd go with a blast from a firehose. Not only would it knock the lefty off her perch but it would make arresting her a tad easier due to such a "shower."

[Servant of the 9]

Hit him with a Taser and he'll come down.

At least it spares us the standard misspellings.

Doesn't she look a tad old to be climbing fences anyway? She looks like a grandmother.

[wimpycat]

I'd climb up the other side of the fence and hit her hands and feet with a hammer until she lets go.

You've got to admit, though, that it's a very lovely gate.

Little ole commie making anti-Bush signs

Is that an arab scarf you have on, Bush hater?

Is that guy smoking a doobie?

Secret Service will be watching for these people.

Secret Service will be watching for these people.

Hopefully....

Imagine if someone tried this at the White House.

Folks scale the fences at the White House fairly regularly. (or at least they used to). However they don't get much further than that.
