Wasn't he speaking freely to MI5 back in the day?

Dunno. So some guy claims.

I'm just referring to when the British banned him speaking on TV. I remember the British media got around it by dubbing over him with an actor saying his lines.

In Britain free speech is more of a civic right that is assumed, but it can be taken away for any reason. It's not written in stone like in the US.
