The problem is that the UK government took Australian advice on protection from the sun, and based their own advice on it. Europeans evolved white skin in order to increase the vitamin D our skin for higher latitudes.
That means when Europeans go to northern Australia they need to protect their skin from too much sun, but we still need quite a lot when above 50-degree latitude!
