Sup, you beautiful bastards! Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show. Buckle up. Make sure you subscribe because I'm splitting $10,000 across 10 lucky subscribe beautiful bastards this month, and let's just jump into it.

Freedom of speech. It's a thing that allows me to say fuck Joe Biden or fuck Donald Trump and, uh, you know, the SWAT team's not going to bust down my door. FBI, open up! Right, a lot of people like to talk about freedom of speech when it deals with, like, bans and private companies, but at the end of the day, we're talking about the government

not able to crack down on you because you said some shit.

But the idea of freedom of speech in other countries can look very different.

And I mention that because right now, people in the second died in one of the big reactions we saw online where people kind of meming the whole thing.

Hell, you even had some political commentators like Hassan Piker throwing some G's in the chat, like he just clutched a game of Valorant when she died.

Ooh, let's go get f***ed, Queen.

And while things like that have only really been a part of the court of public opinion, people loving it or hating it. We're seeing things right now, like in Scotland, a woman holding a sign that read abolished monarchy and fuck imperialism being arrested on Sunday for protesting outside the cathedral where the queen's body was at. And when you hear that, you'd go, okay, this would probably get laughed out of court in the U.S. as basic freedom of speech. But in the UK, it's different. They actually recently passed a law to heavily curb the ability to protest and actually gave the police the ability to step in on quote

unjustifiably noisy protest that may have a significant impact on others which led to this woman being charged with breaching the peace

with that her arrest was decried by some locals at the time who yelled out let her go its free speech while others responded with have some respect

and organizations like the free speech union outraged at her arrest calling it intolerable.

But at the same time, many disagreeing saying, hey, her use of the word fuck was clearly meant to incite and disturb the peace.

So those people argued that it was justified that she was arrested.

Now, for me, I'll say, setting aside the fact that it's ridiculous that such a broad open-to-interpretation law even exists.

It also doesn't appear to hold up to scrutiny. Many more people have recently been arrested for protests with far less offensive language.

Yesterday you had a protester arrest outside Westminster Palace for holding a not my king sign.

While up in Edinburgh, a young man was charged with breaching the peace after yelling this to alleged Pito Prince Andrew.

For that being the most that he could get out before being dragged away from a parade barrier.

In Oxford, author and activist Simon Hill was arrested for, you guessed it, breaching the peace.

In his case, Hill shouted, who elected him after the proclamation declared Charles King was read out?

With him clarifying that asking that question wasn't meant to disrespect the late queen, as many people felt otherwise about his outburst.

But all of this has led to questions about how broad this law is.
