Hmm. Ironically, the party most likely to abolish such laws is probably Reform.
Tories have done approximately nothing, Labour is an old mother lode of speech policing and the Greens with all their postmodern sensitivities plus deference to Islam don't look particularly promising as well.
Once upon a time, Lib Dems were strong on civic freedoms... but I can't remember them doing anything in this regard during the Cameron coalition government.

- inglor_cz 11mo agoYeah, that is the point. I would expect a party that gets into a government once in a blue moon to exploit that opportunity and show off that they can actually achieve something real. That wasn't the case.
