 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.

You can't do much with your own property, can't own a gun, don't have free
speech, you can't even defend yourself if someone breaks into your home. High
taxes, shit economy, mass 3rd-world immigration, you get arrested if you're
white and complain about any of it. But it's sexually degenerate so that means
it's "free", I guess.

The UK used to be an amazing place but it's turned into an oppressive
government.
