I don’t agree with that assessment at all. I’m free to criticise my government in the UK in any way I wish to. I would have no such freedom in Singapore.

As someone who moved from Singapore to the UK, this assessment is really quite funny. The Online Safety Act says hello.

As long as you are not criticizing the UK.gov's stance on Palestine.
The proscribing of Palestine Action as a 'terrorist group" is an absolute farce but that doesn't prevent you criticising the governments position on Palestine.
