[tor-relays] NHS UK blocking Tor?

[Chris Whittleston]

Right - so this seems to confirm that they are indeed blocking Tor - and
not just exits - I'm running a middle relay.

I've contacted them via a web form asking why they block all Tor relay IPs.
Tips on what I should tell then if/when they get back to me tomorrow? Was
currently planning on at least explaining the difference between middle and
exit relays.
