Celebrating London's Diversity All Day Everyday

Yeah most of England's gun and speech rights were lost in the 1960s, although the rot actually started with Public Order Act of 1936 which made wearing any political uniform in public a crime. However, English speech and gun rights basically remained alive in a very crude and restrictive form until the 90s and early 2000s. 1996 for guns when handguns were toally banned even for license holders, and 2003 for speech when the Communication Act 2003 made it a criminal offense to be "grossly offensive".

The Terrorism Act 2006 was the final nail in the coffin for English free speech when the offense of "encouraging or otherwise inducing the preparation, instigation or commissioning of acts of terrorism whether directly or indirectly" was created, so that anyone saying anything in public that sounded like approval of political violence, whether real or imagined, became liable to prosecution and up to 15 years imprisonment. It also gave the British Government the right to outlaw any group it felt was "concerned" with terrorism regardless as to whether any crime had actually taken place, and it gave the British Government the right to declare any other group created subsequently an "alias" of the former, based solely on the British Government's own subjective opinions.
