Firstly, we don't have "free speech". As it has been pointed out many times in many threads.
We have free speech within the confines of the law.
You can't libel a person, you can't run into a cinema and shout "fire run for your lives" (unless it's on fire!) you cannot incite violence or racial hatred.
I haven't read what was said, but I can only assume it fell within the latter category.
