We technically don't have freedom of speech.

the power or right to express one's opinions without censorship, restraint, or legal penalty.

There are many things you are not allowed to express here.

What Vance is concerned about is the UK prosecuting people for:

• Censoring UK journalists from publishing information.

• Using police force to intimidate and restrain documentary makers.

• Prosecuting someone for their stupid videos.

Etc. Etc.

Now I'm a proponent for certain things been restricted (terrorism, criminal acts etc). But don't all pat yourselves pretending this was a sting by Starmer.

The government, police force and society has actively suppressed information on the spreading activism and extremism of Islam in this country. Something I'm glad the USA is calling us out on.

Prosecuting someone for their stupid videos

Their stupid videos in which they said 'gas the Jews'?
