I wonder what actually prevents them just showing the page without adverts to UK readers, rather than showing the placeholder; I'm supposing that its for political reasons as in, they wont show it, rather than cant

- dTal 9y ago"This website is made by BBC Worldwide. BBC Worldwide is a commercial company that is owned by the BBC (and just the BBC). No money from the licence fee was used to create this page. The profits we make from it go back to BBC programme-makers to help fund great new BBC programmes." https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/ https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/ C'mon man, it's right there on the front page...
