even in the UK there appears to be legal precedence from Scottow -v- CPS judgment that while harassment is a crime, speech that “offends, shocks and disturbs” is protected by article 10 of the Public Protection of Harassment Act 1997.

“Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not worth having”

When someone says “you can’t say that”, unless you’re saying it repeatedly leading to it being viewed as harassment, it appears you can, even in the UK. Also, if they don’t like it, ask them to explain why you can’t say something about it. Social pressure is a form of censorship.
