The UK population is generally docile, we don't really riot even when things are bad (unlike the French who barely need an excuse).

Our elites are pretty bad at running the country but actually quite crafty when it comes to managing dissent and channeling it into things that don't threaten their hold on power.

So the regime can get away with a lot, there is no organised violent resistance
