Stupid question: Does England have the same Freedom of Speech laws as in the States? Are there nuanced differences?

I don't know the full story in the US, but as I understand it here in the UK we have freedom of expression under article 10 of The European Convention On Human Rights. There are a lot of exceptions in the implementation accepted by parliament, so I guess they could make a case against most things if they really wanted to. There is currently a right of appeal to the European Court Of Human Rights (not part of the EU) but The Conservative Party want to withdraw from that if they win the election, so after that who knows

England, your freedoms are lost. fight back now else they be lost forever. you are muzzled by your government and disallowed freedom of speech. next comes freedom of thought, and it is not far off. now is the turning point. tip it in your favor, or remain as penned livestock.

Jordan Peterson is just as crippled by Political Correctness as everyone else connected to the "Alt-media"...he did an interview with Lauren Southern on the topic of Cultural Marxism and Political Correctness, never once did he say the word 'Jew' throughout the entire interview...it was the Marxist Jews at the Frankfurt School who invented Cultural Marxism and weaponized it, along with the concept of Political Correctness.

Maybe he actually does more good by not mentioning it though... its possible. That word has such a spell on it that merely saying it in a factual statement will turn off a listener's brain.

The founding fathers argued about whether our Bill of Rights should be written. By enumerating those, were they saying the others, traditional to English common law, didn't exist? Well, I'm sure glad they did. They're eroded enough anyway without being merely ideas. I fear because England does not have a similar safeguard of those rights (1st and 2nd Amendments) and the memory of those rights as common law has faded, they might be doomed to have no rights.

The police have become SJWs. Things NEED to get tougher.

Ending promotion through the ranks seems to have been instrumental in this. All senior officers used to know the job from the ground up, now they can join at high level without any knowledge of the realities of the job or its place in the wider society.

I love that man. He has done more to help me get my life together than the vast majority of individuals.

It would be very unlikely for the vast majority of us to have done anything to help you get your life together.

Exactly, which is why one stranger helping in any meaningful way [especially if that help is greater than most people having a stake in my life] is impressive.

Jordan Peterson is one of the greatest minds of our time.
