"Redwatch is hosted by a US server, so outside the jurisdiction of the British authorities, and as a result it is protected under the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which enshrines Freedom of Speech - however the recent test case here may make that subject to review"

Being hosted in America doesn't make it fall outside UK jurisdiction. The site orginates in Britain and the perpetrators are therefore, liable to prosecution under UK law.
