While we don't have a written constitution we are signatories to the European Convention on Human Rights enacted under law in the UK as the Human Rights Act. That's amounts to the same thing for many purposes.

Couldn't agree more about the problems with freedom of expression in the UK. Something the US should be proud of in comparison.

I'd also stress that not having a written constitution is totally different to not having a constitution. More accurately the UK doesn't have a codified (single reference document) constitution but does have strong constitutional case law.
