A convicted torturer was allowed to get within feet of Prince George in a massive security breach uncovered by The Sun. The royal family launched an investigation after we told them driver Darren Benjamin, 40, was allowed into Kensington Palace. Worried Prince William has demanded to know how a convicted torturer got within feet of his three young children.

*snip*

The violent criminal was jailed for seven years in 2008 for his part in a torture plot where an innocent man had boiling water poured down his back. But he was allowed to deliver furniture to Kensington Palace on July 14 in his role as a driver for an independent company.

Evidently my local WalMart is better at background checks than is Kensington Palace.

“Evidently my local WalMart is better at background checks than is Kensington Palace.”

Yeah, but I bet it sucks at keeping the shelves stocked.

He did his time, which wasn’t much, but hey, it’s Britain. If the government deems the guy safe to be among us lowly commoners, why should the royals get special treatment?

Must’ve gotten a discount mover. A bigger company would have liability insurance and those guys will deny you coverage if you hire a felon. At least, that’s how it goes across the pond.

I see. So the life of a prince is more important than that of an ordinary person.

If he’s dangerous, why is he out?

It’s only shocking or horrible if he goes near the ‘royal’ children, but it’s fine if he schmoozes around our children?

“convicted torturer” ???

huh ???

this type of cowardly person only works where they safely have the upper hand.

BEAT DOWN BY A WOMAN WITH A PURSE is enough to thwart such cowardly scum.

just like a President and his family have extra protection, so should the Queen’s family. But the Bastard should have never been released

When this kind of thing happens to American royalty, they immediately and loudly demand gun control. :)

Let me see if I have this correct. Liberals want guys like this to have a second chance because he "paid his due to society" and all should be forgiven. It's a good thing he has a job as a furniture mover and he should be free to go into people's houses and interact with children if he wants.

But, OH MY GOD how dare he get within a mile of the royal family! They are much more important and he should not be able to get close to them! They are our betters and even though they have 24-hour armed security there must be no former criminals around them!

Is that pretty much the gist?
