King Richard III of England wasn’t Shakespeare’s favorite monarch, nor apparently was he well liked by his own contemporary countrymen. Shockingly, his remains were discovered beneath a parking lot in Leicester, England of all places over two years ago. To this day the poor man’s remains remain not at peace. At least U.S. Presidents receive a proper gravestone.

It was a frightening moment and a stunning security lapse at the highest level of government for Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron on the streets of Leeds. This came only days after security related incidents at the White House and the atrocities in and around Parliament in Ottawa, Canada by a Muslim extremist. The British police deemed the attacker harmless and not a threat and released him in twenty minutes’ time. Cameron joked later that he thought the threat past after emerging from the meeting with crusty old Labour kingpin John Prescott.
