Because in my country (the once great Britain) we don't have a constitution. We don't have a 1st amendment. We make up our laws on the basis of current in-vogue trivial issues. If I posted some of the things I've read and posted on this website on a server based in the UK, I'd be prosecuted (as many have been). I've even tried to find an equivalent website to this one in the UK, but they don't exist, because, I might offend someone and have to (omg how pathetic) say sorry. Guard your 1st amendment and your right to be offensive well - we have lost it. I know this is probably not worthy of a thread, but I just wanted to share this with y'all as a person that lives in the supposed 'mother of all PARLIAments'.
you will find that it originated with what they (the monarchy) wanted for themselves and devolved slowly down to the people. Of course they demand sovereignty and prerogative for themselves too but hold it back from the individual, (dont want competition)
In the US its in black and white but you can pretty much wipe your butt with the 6th 7th and 10th amendments because unless the king (judge) acknowledges it you dont get it.
Free meaning "franchised" speech was originally set up for parliamentary debates to protect the nobles etc debating with regard to government from suit as a result of offending some dickweed kings policy. Articles of Confed here in the US will show it is set up that way here as well, and eventually extended to people at large.
Its no different here than britain just more people fighting it out in court and we have the sedition acts etc.

That does not work for insults which are a tort and is purely arbitrary unless they are against the monarchy, and then its dependent on your sedition laws, what the the dingy kingy calls sedition after proving the state (king) has an interest in the first place. thats not legal advice, just information.
you need to look at the way your law stands today, check into prior restraint cases and lower courts are purely administrative btw.
and then if you want to really dig into your law you will find that like in the US its nothing more than a house of cards based on the kings religious beliefs. They literally have no standing to do anything what so ever and the only reason they hold the power they do is because the people do not physically rise up against them. In other words might makes right and daMOB wins
the only reason you lost it is because you became complacent and stopped fighting the mobocracy
people here in the US have done the same thing, we have virtually the same government you do. GW rightfully said the constitution is "nothing but a f*$&% piece of paper" and as distasteful as he was he was 100% correct.
You can wipe your butt with any of this because government is not separated and to the contrary its one giant RICO pyramid scam in you country and ours.
So in america while you would have equal protection under the law however you do not get equal status under the law, no or extremely little difference from your situation in the final analysis. That said equal rights is bolony and its equal status that levels the playing field.
