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.

I just looked at the article I think you are referring to. There has been no ban on street preaching. Colchester Council served a Community Protection Notice on one particular church following complaints about public nuisance. They are restricted from using an amplifier (a perfectly common and reasonable adjustment) and using certain language (more controversial). The rights or wrongs of this notice will be tested in a magistrate's court in a couple of weeks time.

@SunshineGirl I know. The amplification I think should stop.
But the guy has the right to say people will burn in hell. It’s a very Calvinist position, common in some of the more contemporary modern churches. They signed me up on that route many years ago🤣
