Did they?
I feel like this is yet another don quixote versus the windmills thing.
SSL, TLS, SSH, just a few protocols that float the internet don't support any of the crap that the UK government wants, nor can they.
So either the entire world spends 10 years building a completely new internet based on new protocols that will be abused within 2 weeks, just because UK politicians are retarded, or.. well, I guess the UK will just have to cut their country off of the Internet, a brexit, if you will. I heard those work really well too.
It doesn't work like they want.
