Most of the world doesn't bother playing whack-a-mole with pirate sites because it usually doesn't work. The UK, however, is no stranger to enacting policies that are known to be ineffective.

cybermania.ws is hosted on cloudflare, has been down for 3 days in a row; it deceptively says 'Verification is taking longer than expected. Check your Internet connection and refresh the page if the issue persists.' It is inaccessible apparently globally, including here, Canada, and via VPN, tor, etc...

Cloudflare offers Tor access for free. So to access these sites in the UK you just need to connect via Tor now. (Or of course you could pay for a VPN, but Tor is free).
