A BBC story not accessible from London! I thought UK taxes + TV license where paying BBC. Is there a mirror for this?
- davidgerard 11y agobbc.com is really BBC Worldwide, which is functionally a separate commercial organisation with really good access to BBC material.

- davidgerard 11y agoIt's not particularly, it was an answer to the question "I thought UK taxes + TV license where paying BBC."
- fauigerzigerk 11y agoTheir argument for not showing it in the UK is indeed hilarious, but after accessing it through a VPN I suspect that the real purpose of blocking this content is to protect the BBC from damage to their journalistic reputation. This is a completely vacuous piece of tourism marketing full of stereotypes and cliches. I know Vienna pretty well. This is not it.
