Various critics of British foreign policy (Vanessa Beeley, CJ Hopkins, Glen Greenwald and others) have reported being detained for questioning when attempting to enter GB, held for the legal limit of six hours, and their effects searched.

That is a clear attempt to send a message.

As to compelled speech, try to find MI5's visit to the office of The Guardian, shortly after The Graun published the Snowden revelations. That paper's editorial line has since hewed very closely to the neocon position favored by H.M.Government.

Incredible! I didn't know about the detentions. The British have tipped even farther into tyranny than the U.S. in certain ways, but Americans aren't far behind.
