I thought people in the UK can watch subtitled stuff, I mean I remember reading something from a few years back about subtitled programes being shown on UK TV with programs like the Danish crime drama, The Killing. Also I think I should cite these articles:

The growing popularity of subtitled television in the UK

The Killing puts torchlight on UK subtitled drama

The Returned: how British TV viewers came to lose their fear of subtitles

Oh, and did you forget Walter Presents in the UK? Would love to see a child/kid spin-off of the program (called it Walter Junior presents) where foreign language children program can be shown to kids with English subtitles. I can see Ultraman, Super Sentai, and some Kamen Rider shows would be perfect for a Walter presents kid-oriented block spin-off.

See, if people in the UK are watching subtitled programmes over there. Then I don't see how it would be difficult to put tokusatsu program with English subtitles on there. I'm also aware the same UK audiences have also access subscription to Netflix. So they can access toku show if Toei and Tsuburaya are willing to do that.
