At least things have loosened-up some, perhaps you will get a leader that will stand-up to the EU and will support free-speech completely some day.
Nothing helps those groups & their messages more than legitimizing them with laws that are supposed to "limit" them.
Things haven't loosened up. This is how it's been for years. I don't want a leader who will 'stand up to the EU', frankly, we've had enough anti-Euro politics in the UK in recent years.

As to Europe's 'anti-free speech' laws. I fully understand why some European nations would seek to make it illegal to use nazi salutes or propogate nazi propaganda. There are still many, many people across Europe whose lives were affected by real fascism. Not the stuff you're pointing at Rk, but the real fucking deal that led to the slaughtering of millions.
