I noticed on the bitcoin.org page it says the software can't be downloaded in the UK? Any idea why?
You can use DNS change in chrome browser to access internet as global user, you can use google default DNS or other DNS. Based on my experience, I feel free to surf the internet for any access, it might also be useful for you to access anything on bitcoin.org.
The alternative is to access
https://craigwrightisnotsatoshi.com/, you can download the bitcoin whitepaper but the software archive link has not been updated since the web was created, you can ask someone else
to archive the link from bitcoin.org to download the latest software version. CMIIW
