    As with everything it comes down to intent and context.

    If you accidently throw bacon on to your neighbour’s garden, it’s probably a mistake.

    If you purposefully throw bacon on to your neighbour’s garden, it’s probably littering.

    If you specifically throw bacon on their garden because they are jewish/muslim/vegetarian, etc, it’s probably a public order offence.

    The people that run the friends of palestine stand in the centre of town handing out leaflets on a Saturday afternoon and encouraging boycotting products from illegal settlements aren’t doing anything wrong.

    But someone who purposefully goes to a Jewish part of a town to wave a flag for the sole purpose of antagonising those who live there, it’s probably a public order offence.
