    I live in the UK, where I know there is also some illegal speech except in Hyde Park Corner. I still think things should be different and the government shouldn’t be penalising anyone for things they say. Things they do are a different matter, but banning some speech leads to oppressive regimes.

      It isn’t that you can’t say things, just certain parts of “the message” are illegal. You can’t deny the holocaust for example or call to sterilize immigrants
