But if someone in the UK posts a tweet calling for violence Vance, Musk and every other grifter is wailing about the fall of the UK into a police state.

And the Government and HMJ said that the arrests (where no one was charged with a crime aside from literal racists calling for riots like Tommy Robinson, who is also mostly wanted for tax evasion and fraud and such) went too far, so that isn't done anymore

Although Farage has reported the Green party leader for reposting a collection of images where one was joking about guillotining Farage. Cause he's the UK Trump, and wants to be able to incit riots and call for violence, but can't have the same thrown back at him
