Also I'm not sure what the 'people of the UK... Fight for themselves' would even mean? What means do you have against a state keen on this? Mostly circumventing whilst avoiding incarceration and waiting it out...?

I think they've probably let this get too far and have no speech and voting type means of fighting back left available. Basically short the pound by converting it to bitcoin whenever possible and barter / black markets to avoid taxation where possible. Financial attacks at the core of their funding. A broke government is forced to shrink.
