You would have to cut off the UK government and politicians from the rest of the worlds politicians, rather than cutting off the internet though. The idea to make these authoritarian laws is the contagious problem, not the people using the internet.
i heard guillotines are great at cutting things off
Well, those politicians will use the population as human shield and we couldn't get to them, so the entire thing has to be cordonned off. I think encircling the entire island in a safety minefield, the entire perimeter and 50 kilometer deep, a anti-air curtain that covers the entire Island plus 200 km in all directions, cutting all communication cables going to the Island and a radio jamming system that neutralizes all communication devices with a power rating less then 5 terawatts on RF bands from 20kHz to 750 THz would be a good start.
If that does not prove sufficient to silent the sources of this informational hazard infection then we will have to take serious measures such as sinking the whole thing by about 350 miles deep into the mantle.
