But these people are being investigated under the Public Order Act, designed to prevent anti-social behaviour, of which these two are being accused.

Am I missing something here though, you appear to be suggesting that someone's power to incite others suddenly stops once they're arrested, and those inititially incited would miraculously no longer be incited.
Or are you under the impression that in order to protest, a group must show all their plackards to the police for approval, along with a script of what slogans are going to be shouted, that way the police can stop something before it happens?

I think it would be suggested, by some, that that would only be for certain demonstrations and not others.
