Freedom of speech should be absolute. Obvious safeguards such as Incitement to violence should of course be included, but they should also be only if the threat is real, targeted and imminent.
As it stands a broad tweet saying "I'm sick of these small boats, we should all go down to Dover and chuck them all back in the channel" sent out to your dozen followers on X, could see you arrested in present day UK.
