There's actually a solution to this problem which I stumbled on a few days ago. Obviously we cannot allow backdoors, and people should have their stuff encrypted, and if the UK's authortarian government wants to know what's being said they should do their job and crack the encryption. So realistically the UK could just make it illegal to use any encryption algorithm other than DES for anything... in the UK anyway.
