Nah, hard disagree. And I’m certainly not one to “glory in the queen’s death”, or anything.
Freedom of speech should mean freedom to say shit like this in the literal public square at any moment, including the royal funeral procession.
Arresting him was wrong, and is a bad look.
Your attitude is not conducive to a truly free society. We can debate whether the UK is a free society or not, but we certainly shouldn’t be supporting more restrictions on that freedom…

This is absolutely a case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".
