Don't blame the Redditors, they're just a product of a Reddit that's losing its love of free speech...
Personal accountability is a thing.

I just don't get it. Above everything else, free speech is unequivocally the most important facet of a healthy and free society, yet somehow people think its okay to ban offensive speech.
Once speech is deemed illegal, its the last step of thought control. Hell, just take a look at Reddit for an easy example. Its an echo chamber that is slowly getting taken over by shitredditsays SJWs.

Has Britain ever truly been in love with free speech?

You occasionally hear someone mention "free speech" or "this is a free country" here in the UK, which is odd - because we don't have any protection in law of free speech that I am aware of.
We don't even have the right to remain silent!
I think people here watch too much American television.
