AIBU to think this is a terrible waste of Apple Crumble

Apparently some protest group threw apple crumble and custard at the Crown Jewels. Really care about the reasons for the protest, but to waste Apple crumble? Madness!

I wonder what the tourists said if anything or did they stand around with their mouths open? Gob here would have said "what the fuck are you doing you stupid cows"? A bit like me telling some man he was a dirty tramp when he was pissing in the corner of a building I passed this afternoon.

According to BBC news they want the government to establish a "House of the people" with the power to tax wealthy people. Maybe someone needs to explain the terms "House of commons" and budget to them.

I thought it was a ridiculous thing to do. But how the hell did they get a tray full of apple crumble through a security check? I go out in London a lot - always a bag search. Surely the smell alone would have tipped someone off.

Maybe it was in a Tupperware container, masquerading as lunch.

These protests just get weirder.

Ruin a lot of people’s day out, get a minimum wage worker to clean up after you, waste food you could’ve given to a homeless person up the street.

As I read somewhere else about this story:

"Met Police have been waiting to write the following statement since they were six years old:
'Four people have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and taken into custody'"
...

Laughed out loud at that

The thing about things like this is that this mess will have been cleaned up by an employee - probably not a particularly well paid one.

At least it was nothing worse than apple crumble

I heard someone from their organisation on LBC earlier and he wasn’t the brightest spark. Bravely making a stand for people in poverty by wasting food and the time of our overstretched police and other public resources to raise awareness of his disapproval of rich people who presumably won’t care or be affected in any way, he didn’t seem sure. What a positive impact. How courageous. Maybe he wanted to create more work for cleaners?
