We have not, and, I’m sure, have never had, free speech in Britain.The only people who complain about free speech are the ones that get upset when fascists and racists get pulled up. We do have limitations on free speech and its specifically for arseholes like SYL. These limitations are laws and they haven't changed in nearly 20 years - so when you say 'we're rapidly losing it' that is pure BS. The laws aren't changing - its the quantum of hard right arseholes getting caught up in it that is changing.
Everyone else manages to say whatever they like without issue.
We have a freedom of expression, which allows people the right to have their voice heard; but we have never been able to just say whatever we wanted.
Like you say, there are laws that limit the things we say. Speech is not free.
