Certainly don't try to construct your own list of virgin servers, use the list they have constructed ... I have no idea how good virgin are at keeping their own servers in their SPF lists, or referring to anyone else's they outsource to, but right now _spf.virginmedia.com resolves to
"v=spf1 include:_mailcloud.virginmedia.com include:_external.virginmedia.com include:_internal.virginmedia.com include:_spf.fireeyecloud.com  ~all"
which recursively resolves to
"v=spf1 ip4:212.54.59.64/26 ip4:212.54.57.64/26 ip4:212.54.57.64/26 ip4:84.116.6.0/23 ip4:84.116.50.0/23 ~all"
"v=spf1 ip4:78.33.8.111 ~all"
"v=spf1 ip4:193.38.82.91 ip4:193.38.82.92 ~all"
"v=spf1 ip4:34.223.9.0/24 ip4:34.223.11.128/25 ip4:34.223.12.0/25 ip4:38.27.116.128/27 ip4:165.254.91.16/28 ip4:38.27.116.96/27 ip4:165.254.91.96/27 ip4:149.13.95.32/27 ip4:154.57.155.16/28 ip4:100.25.99.0/25 ip4:100.24.127.128/25 ip4:3.122.63.0/24 ip4:52." "215.218.128/25 ip4:63.34.31.0/25 ip4:63.34.218.0/24 ip4:3.123.5.0/24 ip4:34.223.36.0/24 ip4:3.93.93.0/24 ip4:3.112.99.0/24 ip4:3.112.100.0/24 ip4:3.97.207.0/24 ip4:3.97.208.0/24 -all"
Which does include the 84.116.50.34 address originally mentioned ...
