The only thing I always find shocking in the UK is how racist speech is actually illegal, like serve jail time illegal. They will find surveillance of someone making a racist gesture at a football match or something on Twitter, hunt them down, and prosecute them. I'm assuming there are other limits to speech, but since anyone can say any crazy thing here and not be in danger of jail time, it's interesting to me.
