Well I downloaded the Libreoffice GB langauge files and opened the package and 
made my way to the thesaurus folder.
One issue is that the GB data files are called th_en_US_v2.dat and 
th_en_US_v2.idx and they are exactly the same size as the same named files in 
the mythes-en-us package.

colour (adj) color all seems fine but on using the diff command I found
that the true USA version is missing a lot of the British swear words.
[*lol*]

So although the dirty fix is the symlink approach as the earlier report.
the correct fix is to remove the Virtual package mythes-en-gb which links to 
the mythes-en-us, but fails to provide a GB thesaurus, and provide a working 
package.

So the fix i suggest is to :-
http://mirrors.coreix.net/thedocumentfoundation/libreoffice/stable/3.4.6/deb/x86/LibO_3.4.6_Linux_x86_langpack-deb_en-GB.tar.gz
copy the  th_en_US_v2.* files from the 
LibO_3.4.6_Linux_x86_langpack-deb_en-GB.tar.gz package. and rename them  
th_en_GB_v2.* and place them into the /usr/share/mythes/ folder.

Ideally this could be a provided by a deb package named  mythes-en-gb
