In the United States, you do not violate the Constitution when you “offend” someone without measurable, ascertainable harm. The Leftists are trying to change that. Looks like a done deal in the UK.

The UK does not have a Constitution, per se. It does have basic principles and precedent that have been accepted through the centuries, as well as specific Acts of Parliament that serve as a commonly accepted basis for government and individual rights. But it is not like the USA's Constitution. Add in the EU Constitution and their attempt to enshrine bureaucratic modern progressivism and statism among member states - and one really must be careful that enforcement of the laws will just flow with the fashion and whim of the times.

There’s is no 1st Amendment in the U.K. I have no doubt the Left would like to see this happen here.
