  That’s the issue. Several UK ISPs are blocking WordPress.com. Contact yours and ask them to Whitelist it.

  To comply with EU porn standards. But they are banning ALL wp.com blogs which is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

  this needs to be done at an organisational level. it is virtually impossible for us to get through to real technical people that can fix this.

  Making the suggestion that we should change ISPs would be the single leat helpful thing that any of you can advise us to do.
