However, no government has done anything to protect the UK's culture. It is only a matter of time before our culture is submerged by other cultures.

In the specific instance of football, the government has put the World Cup, euros and the FA cup final on the list of designated events to prevent them vanishing behind paywalls. The EU intervened to prevent live league broadcast rights from being sold as a single exclusive package to any one broadcaster on competition grounds. I suspect nobody will be proposing that is reversed now we’re out.
