I have no idea about policies etc. and what organizations are there and 
how big you are, but at least in IPv4 world, some big players are 
reluctant to peer with smaller players, have a customer relationship.

Perhaps some in UK6x feel this way.  IPv6 is not all that much business 
now, but peering might be difficult to remove gracefully later on.

Or perhaps people there just don't care.
