On the evidence, including live witness PW3 and objective contemporaneous recordings, the appellant's loud insulting and provocative conduct in an already tense, sizable public assembly was properly found to have been intentionally directed at inciting and in any event objectively likely to produce a breach of social peace; conviction therefore safe. The trial sentence was excessive in starting point and was reduced on appeal to reflect appropriate proportionality and the appellant's positive character, resulting in an amended term of 5 months' imprisonment.
