There are examples of the apparently ineffective British state suddenly gaining some teeth and some competence when they actually care.

One example is after the Southport riots, miraculously the justice system became hyperefficient and the perpetrators were found, arrested, charged and jailed within a week.

That suggests a lot of what looks like incompetence (potholes, petty crime, maybe also this) is actually just the state not really caring about a lot of issues.

If they decide they really care about internet censorship, I wouldn't rule out them suddenly becoming a lot more competent in that specific area
