CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 5 weeks agoNo you cannot. Assuming you’re not from the UK.
Stirring up racial hatred and geeing people up to burn down hotels holding refugees is not free speech.

I specifically said things that aren’t threats. Just because you don’t like what they say doesn’t mean that it isn’t free speech.

You sound like you get your knowledge of European and British laws from tabloid journalism

Since when did the NYT become tabloid journalism?
nytimes.com/…/germany-pro-palestinian-protests.ht…
Or Wikipedia?
en.wikipedia.org/…/Censorship_in_the_United_Kingd…
Which says, “there is no general right to free speech in the UK.”

First one is about Germany, not UK. Secondly, you do realise wikipedia is unreliable, prone to edit wars and subject to those that have the most passion for a topic (like free speech “absolutists”/racists).
Can you find a UK example that you think overstepped the line?
I’m in the UK, critical of Israel and not been arrested yet…
It’s always interesting seeing distrorted American views of the UK.
