Well now I am confused

Well looking at the latest London VAAC charts it looks to me as if this morning GLA and EDI should be closed due ash and later today this is likely to affect MAN, BFS and LPL so I don't understand why the associated flights and airports aren't closed?

Can someone explain to me as a pilot why they're still operating within the red zone?
