Have they never heard of encryption, anonymous DNS servers, anonymous peer-to-peer, VPN or the Tor network**? As for the UK's RIPA and access to one's passwords: Have the passwords kept by some trusted entity outside the UK's jurisdiction and use those encrypted & Tor-ed servers to access the 'secret' data via VPM. Sounds like their measures are aimed at the average user, not those who are really serious about keeping their web use secret.
Which begs the question: Why are they really doing it? And all the other privacy eroding projects?
**Tor is a network of encrypting, anonymising & randomising routing servers. Only the last server in a sequence of many knows what IP address your data is really going to or coming from - and that last hop wouldn't necessarily be within reach of the UK.
