There's a really valuable lesson that should refresh and inform your mentality surrounding life in Britain going forwards.
Your property rights extend only in so far as you can physically enforce them, because big business and the law are so deeply embedded in each other that the house always wins.
This extends to other things too, e.g your rights to privacy. In the Yookay, you effectively have no rights to privacy whatsoever. Your only rights to privacy are what you can enforce on your own terms.
In practice that means using Operating Systems and phones that aren't riven with government backdoors e.g. Linux and GrapheneOS, or encrypting all your information wherever possible - as only maths is to be trusted.
You have two options before you; either complain that the system is rigged and unfair (it is) or you take sovereign control of your data and your physical security wherever possible e.g. reinforced doors on your house, additional gates on your property - anything to make unlawful access to your property as physically difficult as possible.
The future looks a lot like South Africa, the quicker you adapt your mindset to this reality and the less time you spend fruitlessly complaining about it - the happier you will be.
Moreover, you must understand the mindset of the people ruling over the average Briton now: It is a rapacious, avaricious, moralising busybody mindset.
They are not content to control your property and access to your own money (try taking out Β£5000 and tell us how it goes), they want to control what you think and what you say as well.
βOf all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.β

@DocStrangelove2 Isn't this the studio run by a Nike heir? It runs at a loss they just do it for the love of the game. Real patronage, you don't see that anymore
@EvilRapistHtlr "Where did all the captains of industry go?" There isn't a point anymore. Foids don't realise we built civilisation to make them happy.
