I suppose an arguement could be made that terrorists might want to break into a military base and might use this group as a vehicle through which to do that. It would be an absurd arguement but it wouldn't be totally irrational.

I don't support this action by the UK government, but quite a few people in this thread seem to be of the opinion that the UK government is banning all protest which isn't happening here. So I just wanted to set the record straight.

Didn't we functionally ban all protests under Borris? something about them not being allowed if they inconvenience anyone in any way real or imagined so really you can only have them if you do it alone in a dark closet very quietly, or get permission in which case its not a protest.

Best to add a "yet" to the end of that sentence. This is just one more rung to the ladder.
