http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32826353. Yes, I'm aware that is a different 
/8 held by HMG, however, given the lack of supply and the increasing demand for 
IPv4 addresses, it is most likely not particularly prudent to assume any IPv4 
block (or part of a block) will not be announced at some point in the future 
(particularly a block held by a government, given their interests is increasing 
revenues without raising taxes).
