It seems every week I see the UK criminally charging people for disgusting and offensive chants, gestures etc.

They are disgusting acts but to criminally charge for this is insanity and a slippery slope to the Government deciding what you can and can’t say.

Why though?

The law isn't new, we've had lots of iterations of it over the centuries.

Also, freedom of speech isn't freedom of consequences for saying it or doing it.
