The detailed breakdowns (quite large pages):

About 0.6% of both views and edits in the United Kingdom are to the Polish
Wikipedia, indeed putting it in second place. I think this has been the
case for a while, I remember noticing it mid-2011 when looking up language
data for fundraising.

A couple of other interesting things to note from these statistics:
Welsh gets 0.4% of all UK edits, putting it in 5th place, but doesn't even
register for number of views (i.e. is less than 0.1%). Maybe we need to do
more to promote its visibility.
None of the South Asian languages mentioned in the Guardian article appear
in either the views or edits.
