As someone from the UK, it always makes me laugh when people try and claim free speech as if we have the constitution here because they've watched too many yank grifters online.

Yeah, it sucks but the literal peasant class in your monarchy doesn't have actual rights.

[–] NuPNuA@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We do have rights, they're enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights. We just don't have an unfettered right to free speech that makes us have to accept Nazis like the US does.

Just the ones that allow Germans to lock up climate protestors for future crimes, or Brits for insulting their monarch~

Dude, governors are banning books en masse over here in the good ol' land of the free. Laws were never the problem. People always were.
