This is what the UK calls free speech:
This happened back in 2024.
I can't even, so here's the BBC:
Three Just Stop Oil activists who sprayed Stonehenge with orange powder have been cleared of causing a public nuisance.
...
Giving his legal directions to the jury, Judge Paul Dugdale said they had to determine whether a conviction would be a 'proportionate interference' with the protestors rights and said 'everyone's entitled to express their own opinion' even if we disagree.
'If individuals disagree with what our Government is doing on certain matters they are entitled to protest about the Government's actions or inactions,' he said.
'There are times when protecting the right to freedom of speech and freedom to protest can mean that activity that would otherwise be unlawful would be regarded as lawful by the court to protect those rights,' he added.
Boy, I can't imagine what would've happened to these people had they posted a meme about immigration, called a man a man, or shared a Babylon Bee article.
(If you want to know what doesn't count as free speech in the UK, see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.)
But causing £620 in damages to Stonehenge is just fine.
