It is not besides the point. I went to the UK not too long ago, and visited both some of the brexit and anti-brexit rallies. It was pretty interesting.
I also visited France some couple months ago, and in Paris I had no qualms about seeing what was going on with some of the protests there.
This stuff is perfectly OK and normal. There is nothing wrong with that.
> if you never did it and never thought of doing it anyway.
But I did do it.... It was fun to check out what some of the protesters were doing. Why is it so weird and surprising for someone to check out a brexit rally? Lol. I'd imagine that many tourists did that.
> Does it make any practical difference to you as a foreign visitor?
Yes it does! Do you honestly believe that tourists in the UK aren't going around making brexit jokes all the time, and maybe even seeing what some of the protesters are doing? Of course they are doing this. It is a cool touristy thing to do to check out current events, related to local politics!
