Even with everything going on in America right now, it definitely doesn't suppress free speech more than Germany or Britain. I mean the Palestine Action thing is still happening (while Reform gets to yap all day long, mind you).

That implies the bad government will care about following the laws, or won’t change the law or its enforcement

The definition of hate speech doesn’t change each time we get a new prime minister.
