To, me democracy is something social and at the core of the social functioning of a country. However, these things are prerequisites for democracy, they are not democracy itself and are much more connected to social progress than democracy itself. That some countries go further than the UK does not change how to view what has been aid. People have been arrested because of a placard where the offensive element was the word 'fuck' in the sentence 'Fuck imperialism' near an event relating to the proclamation of Charles as King. It has been a major story and has been decried as illegitimate by the British press. Indeed, there is a case of a lawyer being threatened with arrest after expressing the intent to write 'Not my King' on it (https://metro.co.uk/2022/09/13/man-threatened-with-arrest-if-he-wrote-not-my-king-on-blank-sign-17362896/ https://metro.co.uk/2022/09/13/man-threatened-with-arrest-if...). Your last remark is not relevant, because such things have not been alleged in any of these cases.
