Street preaching is being banned in the centre of Colchester.
Freedom of speech is part of British culture.
This sounds more like China or Myanmar.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout It would not matter if they did.
One brave police officer diffused a situation recently in Whitechapel, London, where it was claimed Christians could not preach there because it was a Muslim area. She argued correctly there were no Muslim areas and in Britain there was freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech is indeed part of British culture, but where it is allegedly under threat we need know what is really threatened and why - what is leading to apparent bans onb street preaching, and preching of what by whom.
Freedom of speech, and the freedom simply to ignore "street preachers", is not freedom of inflammation or incitement, which might be the fear here.
