How can a nation react when it isn't even allowed to know the truth?

We have lots of news channels apart from the BBC, plus a vigorous free press.

The probablem is that there is nothing on the conservative side that is even remotely comparable in influence to the BBC.

Even so-called conservative papers like The Times and The Telegraph carry as many liberal op/eds as conservative.

Truth to tell, there is nothing equivalent in the UK to American conservatism.

The political spectrum goes from the just-slightly-right-or-center to the UK equivalent of paleoconservatism, the British National Party.
