The American Illusion of Freedom
I find it remarkable (in the British meaning of "certifiably insane") that a Brit would berate America for free speech when monarchist police thugs arrested peaceful anti-monarchist protesters at Chuck the Third's coronation and all British media supinely gave Buckingham Palace not just rights of veto and censorship over coverage of the taxpayer-paid event, but even the right to retroactively purge videos they didn't like.

Not to mention egregious British libel laws, where in a mockery of presumption of innocence it's the recipient of a lawsuit who has to prove their innocence, and libel tourism is routinely used by oligarchs and rich malefactors like Trafigura to silence the press and their critics, and shield themselves from accountability over their crimes.
The United States is far from perfect, but the neo-feudal state that is England is hardly in a position to complain.
