I don't get it, so they are blocking connections from Britain and also blocking connections not from Britain; so total isolation?
The latter is a stab at the part of the law saying that sites can't encourage the use of VPNs to bypass it. To paraphrase Ben Franklin's quote (as it's often used wrong) "don't take away our freedom in the name of safety, give us the freedom and ability to make ourselves safe." And the UK took both away by trying to discourage VPN safe practices to avoid their lockdown (that doesn't work, as recent news has shown).
