Unfortunately the sheer scale of the consequences will really only become obvious sometime after march next year.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
I disagree, I think that his motives were sound and the wellbeing of a nation as a whole is more important than a sporting event.
Why were his motives sound? He is clearly a pathetic individual with a huge chip on his shoulder that no one is interested in so in order to attract disproportionate attention to himself he undertakes a disproportionate act.
As for "well being of the nation" I am interested to know what it is he did that was in the interests of the nation?

Quite agree. It may make bloody egotists like him think again.
But is it really so different to protests outside embassies etc that also cause massive inconvenience and loss for others due to road and business closures and so on? In London especially, they are too often about foreign issues that are nothing to do with, and of no interest to, UK citizens in general. The Tamil protests in 2009 cost us £7 million in police overtime alone. Peacefully standing around with placards is fine but making people miss a day's pay or ruining their holiday for something that is if no interest to them isn't. Neither is hugely hiking up police costs.
Maybe they should tighten up on protests generally, let a magistrate weigh up the public interest and decide the scale.
