ISP Blocking henrymakow.com

Hello, Henry.
 
I read your site most days and quite often forward your articles on to people.  I just thought you'd like to know that one of the UK's biggest ISPs, Sky, is now blocking your website by default.  I assume the rest of them are too.
 
Our government has required all UK ISPs to impose default web censoring on everyone's account in order to protect children from porn.  Obviously that was always just a smokescreen for political censorship and sure enough today when I tried to go to your site it was blocked by Sky's Broadband Shield, which labels your site as being in the "guns, violence and hate" category.  I had to contact Sky and request that they disable the shield so I can now access your site again.  I'm sure this action also puts me on another list.  Sky is owned by that lover of truth and freedom, CFR board-member Rupert Murdoch.
 
One could argue that your site is all about hate - the hate that our owners hold towards us.  But that's not what this web filter is about of course.
 
Anyway, if you notice a drop in visits from the UK then it's probably because most people are too timid to insist on peering behind the government's ever-growing curtain of censorship.
 
You're obviously doing what you do right so keep it up.  Paul
