(..cont) And insofar as this colourful protest is in fact a challenge to state authority, what are you challenging? If you are questioning the foundations of power and the political system of rule, what are your better ideas? Anarchists, socialists etc always argue that 'we the people' have a right to power ourselves. Anarchists claims that as adults we have a right to autonomy. But what about 'law and order'? What about material prosperity?
1. It sure looks fun. But if you are only doing this for the fun of it - as I know is not the case - why do it in the middle of London? Why not in a field?
2. Since you are having the party as a means of protest, I would say that your 'peaceful' presence is, in fact, a challenge of state authority, because when asked to leave, demonstraters opt for non-violent resistance
