It's too bad the UK is censoring Wikipedia. I'm just shocked to see an English Country that's fully developed to censor Wikipedia. It is like the "China" problem turing into the "UK" problem. I hope that the UK would stop this so everyone can go on with their lives on wikipedia.
Well, if they enable XFF headers on there proxy servers, that will be ok, but I heard that some ISP's are blocking Wikipedia altogether.
I think you may have been misinformed - there haven't been any cases of access to Wikipedia generally being blocked, rather than access to a specific page, that we're aware of.
(And it's not "the UK"; it's some UK ISPs. It's not a governmental move, nor is it a comprehensive one...)

"Wikinews has also learned that some ISPs have blocked customers from accessing some Wikimedia websites including the free, online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, altogether."
