But, isn't that in effect what they have been charged with ?

Whilst it maybe that a charge 'inciting civil unrest' could be brought under Common Law, I don't think such an offence is known to UK Statute Law, but I won't take bets on it!

However, it is standard practice to not bring Common Law charges where there are adequate Staute Law offences.
