That response was already written even before this measure was implemented.While there's still the Parliamentary Debate to happen
There is a response from the UK government, and yes, it is exactly what we expected the response to be

I don't live in the UK, and this measure is crushing me like a cockroach too. The solution is not simply to move to another country.It's a bit reassuring to see such a strong pushback from this, atleast on the internet, but as a Brit the reality is much much bleaker.
Because they will get away with it, regardless how many or what petitions are signed they will keep brushing this off.
They have tried for literal years to get to this point so I bet they have absolutely no intention of repealling that ridiculous law, they very rarely or have ever repealed any laws they've passed infact.
One major part of the problem lies with the public, they are simply too used to this. Many of them work 9-5 jobs and struggle to meet ends by the end of the month, many are far to precoccupied with career and family, some are simply so avoidant of anything policitcal their brains simply shut down and the mere mention of such things. This has all been by design of course, they have been playing the long game.
At face value the general public would not think it's a bad law, infact I bet many would be in favour of it becuase it "seems" like a positive measure to protect people,and anybody who speaks against it would be branded a pervert or society's degenerate bunch.Completely unaware of the wider implications this law will have on them.
Basically if you even try speak out about it there will be someone who goes "Why repeal it, don't you want to protect the children?" And then you go on to explain the usual things like censorship, privacy, authoritarianism, and then they will look at you like you have a tin-foil hat on. And in that point you look like a complete fool and they look like the most rational person in the room. It's lose/lose for us. This ignorance and complacency in this country is just far to strong.
There really isn't anything we can really do, the only 1 possibility that could possibly pursuade them is major economic pressure or economic loss, that is the only thing that would make them reconsider, becuase of course it is. Just like Apple, Google and other big tech firms threaten to leave the UK the UK changed their tune real quick likely due to long term economic implications, even if it was temporary. But at this point I think its far far too late. Sure we can use VPN's or Tor but I fear those services are also on borrowed time to. Eventually they will get exactly what they want no matter how much resist or protest. This is indeed authoritarianism.
The only thing left as a fellow Brit, is honestly move out of the UK. I know it's quite a priviedge thing to say "Just leave" but it's honestly the only civil option you would have left. Finding another country where this is not also happening would be a whole different can of worms. Honestly I have no idea what to do now, what to even tell people. Because they are either on board with it or equally just as lost.
That's the blackpill talking dude. If you leave they win. They are betting on you to give up and based on your post you're giving them exactly what they wanted. This whole kerfuffle started because a small group of people didn't stop until they got what they wanted. Be like them.It's a bit reassuring to see such a strong pushback from this, atleast on the internet, but as a Brit the reality is much much bleaker.

I mean I hope that I'm wrong on this. But I also have to be realistic. What exactly can a nation of down-trodden and mostly ignorant people do exactly? You saw the amount of signatures on the petition but they will be doing fuck all about it in parliament. Like I said before the government very rarely goes back on laws they have passed. You really have to live here to know how much they don't care. This isn't some movie where a petition or backlash magically makes people reconsider their action or suddenly gains a concience. They will give some BS speech how this law is for our own interest and some bs points and just wait until the backlash calms down which it inevitably will.That's the blackpill talking dude.

remember back during the Pandemic they were all about 'stay away from others and don't go to christmas parties' only for them to throw a Christmas party, record it, post the videos of their own christmas party and then the police said there was 'too little evidence that a party even occurred' for them to take action when everyone ELSE had to deal with being prosecuted for breaking isolation?I mean I hope that I'm wrong on this.
