Whataboutism? We're literally talking about a war Russia is the aggressor in.

The US has stronger legal protection for speech and guns, but also more incarceration and police power. US incarceration rate is four times the UK rate.

Also in the UK, the speech restrictions are about stuff like glorifying terrorism, hate speech or harassment. You can criticize the government as much as you want.

In the US you're free to buy a gun, praise ISIS, and shout on the street that people should be murdered or that you love Hitler but not everyone likes that.
