[tor-relays] UK Exit Node

[Michael Banks]

It's a relay node now, so it should be fine, we'll see what happens.
Google 'pglcmd debian' - I've removed most of the lists. It's 
essentially now only blocking known paedophiles/child porn related IPs - 
funnily enough, it's blocked quite a few connections to those known 
addresses.
The broadband security team at my ISP is sorting the DNS records out. 
They even offered a SWIP.
