Fundies in the U.K.?

Are our British brothers catching the American disease? From the New Scientist:
HAVE creationists seized control of the UK's net filters? After buying Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion, Eliot Attridge thought it worth visiting Dawkins's website from the school where he works.

Unfortunately, the school has installed a net filter called Netsweeper which, Attridge discovered, blocks access to www.richarddawkins.net on the grounds that it is an "occult site".

...egh. Okay, I swear, I'm NOT promoting some ridiculous "New World Order" scenario or anything, but U.K. society is just about as fascist as our country is at this point. At least in Great Britain. Not trying to shift the blame, either, but--yech. It's nasty over there.

And now it is magically occulted. So there.
