*.uk

!parliament.uk

!nhs.uk

The updater then serializes the array for easy access via PHP at a later date. You may be wondering what the * and !’s mean. To put it simply it means that there could be anything just before the .uk and it should be counted as the domain such as .co.uk, .gov.uk. The ! before means that its an exception to the * (wildcard) rule, so in the case of parliament.uk, the parliament part should not be counted as part of the domain. A full explanation of this can be found at http://publicsuffix.org/format/

Please find below the actual code for the updater. I decided against just posting the serialized list as the list will change over time where as this post may not.
