Which UK Brokers allow short selling through their internet sites?

[john kane]

Any one know of any brokerage firms that allow this via their internet trading platforms?

Why don't you look into spread betting? It's tax free and often commission free (wider spreads though). There's no uptick rule and short-selling is just as easy to execute at going long.

You can pay 5% margins but get paid interest on your whole short exposure.
