There is however a time and a place, and that was neither the time nor the place. It should not have been allowed.

It isn't about 'banning things we dislike', more about dishing out punishment in an even-handed way. If a Christian group organised the same thing with hateful placards outside a mosque on a Muslim holy day there would be media uproar and many arrests. It would be equally wrong yet treated in a far more serious way.
The law should be exercised with equal force on all people within the boundaries of Great Britain, it is the only way to have a truly fair society. Holding back because it might be considered racist will not only breed contempt but also make a mockery of our entire country.
