ssh -D 8080 -C -N your-non-UK-based-ssh-server-name Then use localhost:8080 as a SOCKS proxy from a spare Web browser (Firefox is particularly easy for this). Or get a cheap VPN account. Lots of providers. I pay $5 a month for this (mostly because my ISP frequently blocks access to Google). Hit connect, watch video, hit disconnect.. bob's your uncle, etc.
Which ISP is that?
I signed up with Pipex (a good business ISP), but they became Tiscali, then they became TalkTalk (a trashy - IMHO - consumer ISP). They seem to not-so-transparently proxy HTTP so badly that large swathes of the Web wobble in and out of working.
