The UK has fewer freedoms than The United States, period.
Your own country doesn't protect free speech on the same level as The United States.
The difference being: some people are free and people just think they're free.
No, you just have the right to own guns and shout whatever insults you want in public. Except of course on television because that is bleeped every single time.
Other freedoms are just as good as in my country or worse.
Because you mostly talk about subjective feelings, there is also the objective freedom index from the Cato institute, who rank the countries by freedoms, the United States ranked 17th out of 159 countries ranked. The United Kingdom, the country that you claim has less freedoms than in the US ranks 9th out of 159. So according to the cato institute the UK has more freedoms than the United States. The Netherlands also ranks 9th out of 159 countries.
The UK scores 9.05 out of 10 on Personal freedom and the US scores 8.83 out of 10. The Netherlands scores 9.37 out of 10 on Personal freedoms.
So objectively it would indicate that my country has a higher score on personal freedom than the US has so I am not sure why you claim other countries have less protection of free speech. Because Free speech is not just being allowed to run your mouth, it has other components too.
The freedom of expression and information part of the Cato ranking constitutes of:
Press killed
Press jailed
laws and regulations that influence media
political pressure, control media
access to cable and satellite
Freedom of Access to Frgn. Info.
State Control over Internet Access
And in that section the Netherlands scores a 9.7. The United Kingdom scores a 9.3 on that section and the United States scores a 9.3 too.
So the freedoms between the 3 countries does not differ much, all other almost equally free.
