Brits do some strange stuff by US standards but I guess its because they never bothered writing a first Amendment. Any American could tweet practically anything to or about anyone that didn't threaten bodily harm without any fear of police action, and esp make any comments directed toward a person deemed a public figure. Freedom of speech laws are drastically different between the US and even Canada, a former british colony.
I'm not even sure if calling someone fat or ugly could bring out the police in Britain.
