  $ host police.uk

Could someone outside the UK use the above and explain what they experience. Then we can get to the bottom of this. Its a bit late here for me to ask remote customers if I can use their gear to diagnose this.

Let's keep it real please!

I’m outside the UK, can’t access the website, and those two commands return the same result you posted.
