There's nothing wrong with him asking them to move. In fact I don't think they should've been allowed there in the first place for the very reasons you've just made. IMHO it was a foregone conclusion that as soon as visitor numbers started to be affected something would need to be done about it. The reference to capitalist $s was made with a hint of irony given the nature of the protest BTW.
As for the protestors, of course I very much hope theY will move on and clear up any mess they've left.
