Sure, but that is not a solution. You get a VPN while the censorship is normalized over time. Then they later make vpns that aren’t used for work to be illegal. Since it will have been in law and have a few years of precedent by that time, they are simply better enforcing a law that has already been accepted by society, except for scary extremists like yourself. Better to make the stand here and now, but people will just be mildly annoyed and use a vpn until they come for that too.
I wish I knew exactly. Outrage helps. We have to start canceling the other side the way they would cancel us. It is more difficult, and risks being a dangerous purity spiral, not to mention if any even slightly illegal action is taken, the feds (or whoever you would call them across the pond) would be ready to pounce. But politicians (or the wider public culture) will never listen to one side that meekly protests with rational arguments then goes about their business while the left scream like banshees. Be outraged and indignant, but not a raving lunatic. You could inspire others. Make it plain that the left are gestapo and how you view them as pathetic, even if you don’t have the power to stop them. People admire conviction.
The problem is you may lose your job. Just don’t resign, make them fire you. Otherwise you admit guilt. But still, you are jobless. I don’t see a way out of this unless businesses either stop canceling people for having what were once normal, sane beliefs, or there are enough anti-woke businesses to form an alternate economy.
This has been going on quietly for a while...I get a bit surprised at how much is censored when I turn off my VPN.
So everyone in the UK, get a VPN quickly.

You make good points...how to make a stand though?
