Oh Please..
There's been a law on the books as long as I can remember called "Conduct Liable To Cause A Breach Of The Peace"
So, if you go up to a bunch of racist, scumbag, skinheads and call them a bunch of racist scumbag skinheads, then you're committing an offence as they're likely to try and beat the living shit out of you.
Same thing here. You don't go up to tens of thousands of happy people celebrating a marriage and try to fuck up their day. What's likely to happen is for some of them to try and beat the living shit out of you.
And, for the record, I can't stand the Royals and all they stand for.
Cheers

So the offending party is that in the minority?

What has any of this got to do with being in a minority?

I admit defeat on that argument.
Didn't word it right, really.
But it was never the intention to fuck up anyone's day. Fair enough, some people get offended easily. The main issue was to have a gathering, in order to hijack the media coverage more than anything (in the end there was more media than protesters and it never got reported anyway (they were hoping for a riot. peaceful demonstrations don't make the news)), to show that not everyone in the UK wants to bow down to the royals. It was well away from the centre of the event, and everyone there wished Kate and William well in their marriage. It was the spectacle of the occasion that most people were against.
