If you mean it may come with consequences when used for the sole purpose of incitement then yes. But then, isn't all (free) speech so qualified? The UK isn't unique in that regard. The US may not spell out the qualifications, but they exist nonetheless.

Personally, I'd rather know up front where the boundaries lie, at least that way when I ignore them, it's an informed decision!
