I'd personally use

RewriteRule (.*)	http://www.examplesite.co.uk/$1 [R,L]

because it'll then also track GET variables.

Heh, not asking much, are we?

RewriteRule /go		http://www.examplesite.co.uk/ [R,]
RewriteRule /redirect	http://www.examplesite.co.uk/ [R,L]
RewriteRule /(.+)	http://www.examplesite.co.uk/redirect [R]

Should work, although I've not tested it. IMHO, you really need to plan
what exactly you are trying to get your site to do, so you don't need
loads of messy rewrites all over the place (mod_rewrite ain't the
quickest thing on earth, y'know).
