I don't trust any prosecution service that uses secret evidence.
Why would I ever expect them to be telling the truth?
The crown was made in 1937, and of such historical significance that vandalizing it's display case requires the arrest of four people and secret prosecution. Yeah, okay, sure.
Democracy was always a lie.
- What do some royal trinkets have to do with democracy?
  
  Where and how were the jewels sourced? What were the material conditions on the ground for the indigenous of those regions? What are they now?
  Edit; more briefly, my reply and the crumble were addressed in the article
- lol you remind me of that character from dr strangelove
  
  You'd think people never heard of Blood Diamond or learned history.
Custard and apples? Is it some symbolism?
- sentence 10 in the article.
  They attack the jewels with crumble and say "democracy has crumbled."
- I can only think of the forbidden fruit lathered in custard.
