No requirement today, what about tomorrow? What is happening with age verification in UK?

You need to prove you are an adult usually via CC when you want a wank

So kids and adults started to use VPNs

So now the government is considering forcing VPN's to also perform age verification

What is next? Do you need more examples of how this is idiotic? Do you know the reason why no one is up in arms about the RealName? Because it was not implemented specifically to facilitate age verification where as this change is purely and specifically to be used for this purpose and no other. Go read the actual PR.
