yes, the person you are replying to is not an expert at UK politics, but then you went right off the hinges with the rest of your post. the UK is one of the biggest police states in the west. the king of punk was to be executed for insulting the queen just 40 or whatever years ago. it was or is illegal to give someone the middle finger. someone got jail for 60 days for saying something racist on twitter or facebook. the UK literally favors "decency" over basic freedoms
