Yes it called "H.M Revenue and Customs" otherwise know as Income tax, Then there Divorce, Building society, shopping every Saturday Afternoon (with your partner looking for that little number, that she saw in the first shop, but best check out every other shop,just in case )!!! then there's her parents, that want to see you every Sunday afternoon, so you cant watch the football on sky, then there's telesales, who ring you up at the most inconvenient time, and you say "yes, because you want to get back to making love to her, afterwards you realise what you have committed yourself to, and before you know it, the windows are being replace at a phenomenal cost, and you just wish that that afternoon, why couldn't she have had a headache like she always does ?.
So i think that answer your question, yes torture is legal in the UK.

Sadly, Yes.
Tony Bliar has allowed evidence gained from torture to be used in courts of law..
In the past the UK was found guilty of torture in Norther Ireland by Amnesty International. Also Tony has condoned the 'rendition' flights and the paperwork relating to these flights has disappeared.
In a UK jail, a lad of Pakistani origin was put in a cell with a loony racist who killed him. If that is not torture what is it?

It is illegal under several criminal laws, assault, battery, false imprisonment, actual bodily harm, grevious bodily harm, threats, threatening behaviour, affray and probably a few others nowadays.
Psychological torture in a domestic situation is probably legal.

Well, if you look at the lenient way filthy paedophiles are treated in the UK after torturing children.......

I wish it was. Torture would save a lot of lives when we catch terrorist suspects or those collaborating with them.
