Admittedly from this side of the pond, this observer sees little signs of this oppressive current animus toward you RC in the UK, except perhaps in some of Scottish sectarian football (soccer) crowds. If the secular press and journals are any indication, you RC are mostly ignored (except for a juicy scandal) and Anglicans are the whipping boys against whom real venom is employed. There is a malign schadenfreude in the press, right across the ideological spectrum concerning any declining parish or wayward vicar. Nothing like that concerning Francis, the Vatican or the local RC prelacy.
