does anyone know how i can get bitcoins in the uk?
i have a moneybookers account or by visa card?
About the only method to buy using MoneyBookers/Skrill is through VirWoX. How that works is you buy Second Life Lindens (SLL) with MoneyBookers, then convert those to BTCs and then you can withdraw BTCs. With being a new user and using credit card there is about a day delay before you can withdraw, as they complete fraud checks. I don't know if the same applies for MoneyBookers/Skrill.

http://www.VirWoX.comHere's a method of buying bitcoins from the UK. BitInstant now has an online bank transfer methods which supports a couple dozen countries, including the UK:
For Bitcoin in the UK, BitInstant just released an online bank transfer system. This has not been publicly announced yet, but it works, and is very fast.
On BitInstant.com, select your UK flag (You can see many other countries are available for this as well), then select Online Bank Transfer and go through the process. You can have the funds converted automatically into BTC and sent to your Bitcoin account, so you don't even need to bother with any exchanges. Fee is 3.49% if over $100 worth, and 3.99% if under.
EDIT: note that these bank transfer payments are nearly instant (matter of minutes). It does not take 1-3 days like most bank transfers. It's pretty baller, actually
