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!

Have they hung that wallpaper with bits of Bluetac?

You’d have a point if their cause was raising the profile of apple crumble or drawing attention to what a bunch of silly bastards they are.

Is that a full time role? I think I would be very effective at raising the profile of apple crumble

I expect someone told them that revolution would involve the crumbling of the monarchy, and they misunderstood.

Nice. Grin

And they're not cheap tickets either, unless it was under the £1 scheme.

That's the best thing to do with it, it's the worst of all desserts. Warm fruit - gads! 🤢

It will not be long before the prisons are full of people given long sentences for this type of protest while violent offenders are given short sentences

You are so wrong.

I can't believe they wasted a good crumble.

I tell myself it must have been left in the sun and gone off and they thought... I should put this in the bin...oh no I'll through it at something in a protest.

What a catastrophe ☹️

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'"
...

Great comment

They’ll get their just desserts.

Dohhhhhhh!

It's because people are talking about it. OP may not have started a thread if it was something other than apple crumble, so it has worked (I hadn't heard of this protest before this thread.)

Absolutely correct, had it been anything else, I wouldn’t even have opened the news item.

I bet the protestors, or at least their mummies and daddies are not living at the foot of reservoirs and eating gravel.

Will it actually achieve anything? Something tangible, not "exposure" or "attention"

It has certainly exposed how thick these people are. People should be going up to them for the rest of their lives and explaining what an MP is.
