legislation that makes "desecration" against any of the three Abrahamic
religions - Islam, Christianity and Judaism - a crime.

 Remind me again, what freedom of speech do Britons currently enjoy?
 

BlackBeltBarrister seems to worried they'd have considerably less freedom of speech if these laws are enacted so they must have SOMETHING. He's an actual lawyer so I assume he knows something about British law.
Is it the freedom of speech that you enjoy in America? Probably not.
