What are you actually supposed to do in the UK if you oppose this sort of thing to stop laws like this coming in? It feels like the government has been incredibly out of touch for the last number of years.

You get the hell out and emigrate. I did so last year. It's not going to get better chap
Where did you go?
Join the ORG for starters. Contact your MP. But yes, the number of people who care is small and so things will not change until it is large.

Did you vote for any single one of them?
If you did, then what you're supposed to do is stop voting for Tory-lite governments (such as the current one).
If you didn't vote for any of these governments (including this one), everything else that you could do would be dangerous nowadays.
I would guess you'd vote a libertarian party.
Probably the best on the civil liberties front are the Liberal Democrats (they were pretty good at quashing mandatory national ID cards back in the day, at least).
That being said, they still have a lot of folk angry at them for allowing university fees to be introduced 15 years ago when they were in coalition government (a Tory policy!).

That doesn't help. Next they'll come for the privacy phones.
