The detailed breakdowns (quite large pages): http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerCountryBr... http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageEditsPerCountryBr...
About 0.6% of both views and edits in the United Kingdom are to the Polish Wikipedia, indeed putting it in second place. I think this has been the case for a while, I remember noticing it mid-2011 when looking up language data for fundraising.
A couple of other interesting things to note from these statistics: Welsh gets 0.4% of all UK edits, putting it in 5th place, but doesn't even register for number of views (i.e. is less than 0.1%). Maybe we need to do more to promote its visibility. None of the South Asian languages mentioned in the Guardian article appear in either the views or edits.

To give a sense of scale until someone finds more accurate data, according to http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageEditsPerCountryBr... and http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerCountryBr... 94% of edits from the UK are on the English Wikipedia, and 6% to the other languages; and about the same is true for readers.
Also, according to: http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageEditsPerLanguageB... , http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerLanguageB... 2% of edits to the Polish Wikipedia come from the UK, and about 1.5% of the readers; if I read the page right.

Anything we can do to get more UK-resident Poles editing?
Do we have any idea of edits to pl:wp from the UK?
