By "the country" I assume you mean the US, because TFA refers to the UK/Britain/England&Wales.
Plenty of military bases in and around London
Depressing, isn't it.
These are different enough that hate speech is not protected in France, and the recent rulings regarding religious attire also lends credence to the idea that the 1st Amendment offers greater protection here than does the Déclaration des droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen.
Scientists will study your brain to learn more about your distant cousin, Man.
