That conflates what Rooney is doing/saying with the actual repression of speech in the UK. She is saying she will actually fund terrorism and LARPing at civil disobedience without being willing to face the consequences. So not really civil disobedience.
Rooney is Irish, not British (nor a resident in Britain), so it's perfectly normal for her to try to avoid the consequences of a foreign regime trying to oppress its population.
In the same way, someone who supports the Azov brigade, would be expected to face consequences in Russia (and find difficulties in getting their books distributed) since Russia proscribed the Azov brigade, but precisely because of that... we wouldn't be asking of them to travel to Russia "to face the consequences"
