I thought you must be wrong but it seems there really is no explicit law about it and current freedom of expression laws have been introduced by the EU in 1998.
Yep but are still applicable to the UK. As those laws have not (yet) been recinded.
Unlike the US. Parliament is entirely sovereign and has no legal limit on laws it can create. But we do have a history of supporting freedom of speech way older then 1998.
IIRC, There’s also no right to protect yourself from self incrimination in the UK. They can literally keep you imprisoned indefinitely until you talk to the cops.
