The laws in the UK have been pushed too far at times, but they still beat the hell out of a system that allows people to scream at grieving parents at their children’s funeral that ‘God hates them’ without repercussion.
The way some Americans talk about free speech as if it was a binary thing is childish and ridiculous. EVERY country on earth now and for all human history have imposed limitations on free speech, and the US is no different. If you want to set your particular free speech line in a way that allows abject cruelty and barbarism, then just do it and stop pretending you’re morally superior for it.
Back in the day, people said whatever they wanted to in America, someone told you something, and you could tell them something in return.
Everyone had thick skin...that's equality, IMHO!
