The Netherlands uses 220 volts at 50hz and the UK uses 230 volts at 50 hz. So as long as you use a 230 volt light bulb in your UK home the fixture will work perfectly. It can handle the extra 10 volts.

The blue wire on a ceiling fan typically connects to the light kit or light fixture.
To wire a ceiling fan with a light, you will need to connect the fan's wires to the corresponding wires in your ceiling. Typically, you will connect the fan's black wire to the ceiling's black or red wire, the white wire to the white wire, and the green or bare wire to the ceiling's grounding wire. For the light, you will connect its wires in a similar manner. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and turn off the power before starting the installation.
To install a cord ceiling light, follow these tips: Turn off the power to the ceiling light at the circuit breaker. Use a ladder to reach the ceiling and remove the existing light fixture. Install a mounting bracket to the ceiling box. Connect the wires from the ceiling light to the corresponding wires in the ceiling box. Secure the cord ceiling light to the mounting bracket. Turn the power back on and test the light to ensure it is working properly.

To properly wire a ceiling fan with a light in your home, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit, mount the fan bracket, connect the wires from the ceiling to the fan, connect the fan and light wires to the corresponding wires in the ceiling, secure the connections with wire nuts, and install the fan blades and light bulbs. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional if needed.
To wire a ceiling fan with a light switch, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Install the ceiling fan bracket to the ceiling. Connect the fan wires to the corresponding wires in the ceiling box (usually black to black, white to white, and green to ground). Connect the light kit wires to the corresponding wires in the ceiling box (usually blue to black and white to white). Install the fan blades and light kit. Install the light switch and connect the wires (usually black to black, white to white, and ground to ground). Turn the power back on and test the fan and light switch.

The purpose of the blue wire in a ceiling fan installation is to connect the light kit to the fan for controlling the light separately from the fan's motor.
To wire a ceiling fan and light separately, you will need to run separate wires from the fan to the wall switch. Connect the fan and light to the corresponding wires in the ceiling, and then connect the separate wires to the appropriate switches on the wall. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and turn off the power before starting the wiring process.
Connect the black wire from the ceiling box to the black wire on the light. Connect the white wire from the ceiling box to the white wire on the light. The yellow and green striped wires from the light are likely the ground wires, secure these to the green or bare copper wire in the ceiling box. Cap off or tape the red wires from the ceiling box, as they are likely for a separate function and are not needed for the light fixture.
The purpose of the blue wire in a ceiling fan is to connect the light kit to the fan's electrical system, allowing the light to be controlled separately from the fan's motor.
