Very few paid any heed. I expect this will be the state of affairs in Britain in a generaion or two.
At the millennium, the Swedish state church was officially severed from the state after 1000 years. very few pain any heed.
Time will corrode the grip institutions have on people's minds once they are no longer relevant -at least if people are well fed and feeling secure. If there is economic turbulence a lot of people will turn to "tradidions" for a sense of security.
OT I just watched "A Different Bias" at Youtube. There is every indication that the lorry traffic at Dover will be unable to cope with the increasing traffic this summer (too many details of the background to include).
People in Scotland will be protected from some aspect of misrule, but not from a collapse of cross-channel traffic (a detour across NI will probably not be able to compensate).
Looking forward, if the horrible party wins the 2024 election (and blocks a second Scotland independence vote from spite) where will that leave you? NI can benefit from unobstructed trade so moving there is a way to avoid scurvy, but I hope you can find less drastic means of coping.
