You could absolutely go to prison for it. A group of people in an unmarked van can grab you, send you to a prison in your country or even somewhere else, where you will be tortured possibly to death, and even if there will be an international fuss about it, nobody will ever do anything about it.
There is no more laws in your country, none.

I could, because our rights are not bulletproof. That said, it's not a given that I will go to jail for being against genocide

It's not given in the UK either. At least they still have the ability to challenge that.

Do they have jury trials in the UK? This seems like a perfect use of jury nullification.
