Can confirm this article as correct: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25430582

Am able (on Sky) to access all the sites mentioned on this article.

I do however, strongly disagree with the sentiment that this filter is "Just another attempt by the Tories to prevent people finding out information." It's not, it's just a very poorly implemented filter by the ISP's that can be 'hacked' with a simple proxy.

We had to deal with this kind of filtering many years ago back at school, where even the word 'mobile' was filtered.
