Vier wurden verhaftet, nachdem die Vitrine im Tower of London mit der Staatskrone unkenntlich gemacht wurde

Four people have been arrested after custard and apple crumble were flung at a display case containing part of the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London.

Police were called shortly before 10:00 GMT on Saturday after the case containing the Imperial State Crown was defaced.

The Metropolitan Police said four people had been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and the Tower’s Jewel House was temporarily closed to the public while the police investigated.

Take Back Power, which describes itself as a new non-violent civil-resistance group, claimed it was behind the act.

The group said it carried out the stunt to demand the UK government establishes a permanent citizen’s assembly – a „House of the People“ – with the power to „tax extreme wealth and fix Britain“.

Footage shared by the group on social media showed one protester removing a large foil tray of crumble from a bag before slamming it against the glass protecting the Imperial State Crown.

Another then poured a tub of bright yellow custard on the front of the case.

How do you become a member of the House of the People? Perhaps through electing representatives from the population? And they need legislative power, to be able to create tax laws. This is a great idea. They should probably have term limits and have to be re-elected every so often, and perhaps they can compete with other people in their locale to ensure that the people are Generally represented in these Elections. Maybe every 5 years, that would be good. We need to make sure that these elected representatives have a place to debate and reach consensus by vote, like a House, in which these Common folk can debate and vote. I like it. Let’s do this.

Thankfully they didn’t get the crown otherwise they could control the giants.

What, no milkshake or tinned soup?

What a waste of some good custard and apple crumble! 😁

Best way for people to hate your cause

„Custard thrown at crown jewels“ is the most British sentence possible

It’s british and involved custard but not fish fingers? Come on the joke was halfway there.

what a waste of good pudding
