UK Police To Get Major New Powers To Seize Domains 161
Stoobalou writes "British Police forces could soon have the power to seize any domain associated with criminal activity, under new proposals published today by UK domain registrar Nominet. At present, Nominet has no clear legal obligation to ensure that .uk domains are not used for criminal activities. That situation may soon change, if proposals from the Serious and Organized Crime Agency (SOCA) are accepted."

Your link is wrong, it doesn't even mention the .uk TLD.
Yes, oddly enough, I looked long and hard for an article on British war crimes on mil.uk but couldn't find any...

Those things are optional, as long as you're serious. And organized.

I've trademarked the grocers' apostrophe for my company: Sausage's and Apple's Inc.
Cease and desist immediately.
