Do about it - well nothing.
From Wikipedia
British spelling uses both -ize and -ise.
British English using -ize is known as Oxford spelling and is used in publications of the Oxford University Press..It firmly deprecates using -ise for words of Greek origin
The Cambridge University Press, on the other hand, has long preferred -ise.
Perhaps as a reaction to the ascendancy of American spelling, the -ize spelling is often (wrongly) seen in the UK as an Americanism, and -ise is more commonly used in UK mass media and newspapers, including The Times, The Daily Telegraph and The Economist.
