It seems every week I see the UK criminally charging people for disgusting and offensive chants, gestures etc.

They are disgusting acts but to criminally charge for this is insanity and a slippery slope to the Government deciding what you can and can’t say.

Why is insanity when it’s a breach of the Public Order Act 1986? This is nothing new. I’m not sure I understand how anyone is complaining.

We think we're American.

Yeah, in a country constantly being americanised with its media, sport, etc. the biggest one is that everyone seems to think we have free speech laws like the USA all of a sudden

Are you opposed to said free speech laws? Thats something the US gets right.
