This is from article 10 freedom of expression from the UK human rights act - (2) The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or MORALS, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
 
What a dumb question. Morals are not defined in law. They are handed down to you by your parents and your teachers etc. You may even develop your own morals from personal experience. But morals in law? What planet are you on?
