We still have free-speech zones in America. So free-speech in those areas also as the police say it is ok and you are willing to be locked in a cage.

So happy to live in a country-wide free-speech zone here in Denmark. I'm shocked that people must hide themselves behind fences to express their opinions.

It seems circumscribed, if that Wikipedia article is correct. Blasphemy laws are one worrying aspect.

On the other hand, I'd rather have even that constitutional guarantee instead of the complete lack of any guaranteed freedom of speech that is the situation in the UK.

This is the most disturbing thing I've seen today. I wonder whether the people who invented this realize how Orwellian it sounds.
