Umm... I'm in the UK and I can see the page fine. Why would you expect this page to be censored?

Others have already posted, but the biggest domestic British ISPs block a variety of things, like SciHub, Libgen, Pirate Bay, or Anna's Archive. Coverage varies a lot though, so I assume ISPs have some discretion and enforcement is patchy.

I wonder if it's blocked simply by DNS manipulation and therefore only people using the ISP DNS have issues.
