Since, for some reason, you want your system to run with UTC as the 
local time, even though that's not the local time, you need to do:

TZ='Europe/London' mythbackend

Like any other program ever created for *nix, you must run the program 
in an environment that's using the desired time zone.

You do realize, though, that setting UTC as the system's time zone is 
not what people talk about when they say you should run your *nix 
computers with the clock set to UTC, right?  You can set your hardware 
clock to UTC and set 'Europe/London' as the system's time zone.  If you 
do, the kernel/system still stores all times in UTC, but they're 
actually displayed in a meaningful time representation for users.
