No, I believe there have been plenty of martyrs; far, far too many martyrs. My point is that modern Brits don't have much of a choice, having been disarmed by their own government. I *do* have a choice, and my choice would be to resist to my last breath.

To be, or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them.

Congratulations on missing the point completely. Of course modern Brits have a choice! Everyone has a choice! That's what martyrdom is all about.

Your point is that you reject the choice, in favor of something else.

How warped! There have not yet been enough martyrs:

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?" And white robes were given unto every one of them, and it was said unto them that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants and also their brethren, who were to be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
