But do they, really?
Here, yes... we're kinda special regarding that. And only under particular administrations.

Our founding documents come from England. This is an unprecedented abuse of the liberties that Englishmen have enjoyed for hundreds of years.

Point me in the right direction to research this... inspired, yes. Come from? I disagree... were that the case we'd still be fighting tea taxes.
English Nobles... mayhap. Commoners? Uh, no. I'll go google after I post, but I do believe our freedom of speech is rather unique.
edit to add my google findings... canada is on the list, kinda... but uk/britain is not. Also on list (with exceptions) are South Africa, France, Japan, and India.

Are the white South Africans trying to leave? I know they've been systematically slaughtered for 30 years now. Nobody seems to care because they're white.

The British Constitution isn’t a singular document but it is based on a century old legal tradition that largely recognized the right of British subjects to speak freely as to matters of state. You are correct that Britain never had a “constitutional right to free speech,” but the right to speak freely as to matters of public interest is beyond debate. What we have seen recently in Britain is Orwellian and totally inconsistent with British legal tradition.

If they are not they are insane.
Apparently Russia has been taking those that want to go there.

Amazing link... we spend more on gender equality than education or clean water. What an informative site to browse. 204 countries/regions... basically the whole globe.

I think inalienable rights come from the French but it’s been many moon since I took American history.

Firstly... you've well outlined the problem- they do not, in fact, have any such right. Tradition? Maybe... but no constitutional guarantee.
Is what's going on over there absolutely wrong? I think so... based on my feels. But the fact is they are subjects, it is what it is. I'm glad we shook their tyrant asses off.

I have a copy of 'The Law' by Frederick Bastiat in my lap as we speak. You are correct.

That is a country whose refugees the US should help. The government of South Africa is failing a portion of its own people.

$116M to Pakistan in 2024 alone.
That was kinda surprising.

This list is far from inclusive. There is no listing for UN, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Latin American Bank.
We "loan" milllions upon millions of dollars to "legitimate" businesses owned by well known cartel entities under the guise of helping employment in third world countries.
In other words, your govt is using your money to "clean" the money of these cartels.

If tweet fails to load, click here. I want Trump to talk about this more.
And lean on Britain for their lack of free speech.
