While I think you are correct in your prediction, I also think that the UK government can simply outlaw any type of attempts at protecting ones' data, such Tor, VPN ect.

At the very least, they could make a law that would focus most of the energy in hacking those who do try to conceal and protect their privacy. They blindly believe the time trotted motto of "if you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide."

Brainwashing program of citizens has been successful. They are unaware its tool to oppress political opponents, activists, journalists, whistle blowers and undesirables. Very impressive results.

There was another motto like this one. It went in the lines if "If you are not with us you are against us".
