PSA: UK users can visit all their favourite websites in Tor Browser. Just don't run your torrent client using the tor network. Thank you.

You can also access 4chan, Tattle Life, and other nasty gossip websites that the UK nanny state wants to ban.

And you can access the porn on Reddit and Twitter (though in some cases you'll have to make an account). And of course the "tube" sites work fine.

After you've done that, as a UK citizen, please go to https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903 and ask the government to repeal their awful law.

It might be necessary to ensure that your exit node is not in the UK or another locality that is otherwise blocked.

That procedure depends upon your platform and client.

Edit: Use this link instead (thanks mzajc!):

I get a "badware" risk on that link from uBlock Origin (Firefox).
