"I'm not sure why you say that US citizens have greater freedom of speech than those of the UK..."

I'm not sure why you think I said that.

"...the Wiki article you link to specifies a number of cases which have legal restraints similar to those in British law."

It's possible that's because the article I linked to is about British law.

What I was talking about was the fact we have different opinions. I'm not going to get into the "my country is better than yours" crap which this seems to be decomposing into. I think our way is better. You think yours is. Fine. I'm OK with that. Just realize that have fundamentally different opinions on speech and the law.
