The European Union is busy passing more legislation to curb free speech and expression; I don't like Nazis or holocaust deniers, etc, and my father spent his young years dropping bombs on them, but if some stupid arse wants to wear an SS uniform in the street and get his head kicked in for it, then I think it's his right. In the UK, that's always been the position - you can say pretty well what you like, but what happens to you is also your right...
Now the other lot - the French and Germans - want to make being an arse a penal crime. Then they'll be making it a crime if you're not politically correct... It is already a crime in France to be verbally nasty to homosexuals...
