Hmmm, whilst having exceptionally limited knowledge of the Public Order Act from what I do know I wouldn't have thought it should applied in cases like this.
Still the CPS know best. Considering the levels of evidence they demand before they authorise charging (thankfully not in Scotland. Yay!) they must reckon they've got a decent case and chance of conviction.
