You know, of course, that the UK doesn't have a First Amendment right.
There are many things people are not allowed to say in public.
Recently people have been jailed for Facebook or Twitter comments.
See:

Even the US First Amendment right has considerable exceptions.
Just try inciting to terrorism in public, for example.
