It's not only happening in the UK. It's happening across the entire western world except for America. Australia, Canada and European countries have also been implementing retroactive speech laws, mass debanking, imprisonment for political speech and so on. The UK gets a lot of attention because it's historically been a fairly free country, and because it's English speaking.
Even in the U.S. there is constant pressure on the First Amendment. It's just that the 1A has been quite resilient because the courts have helped it, but that can stop at any time.
