... why can I, a licence payer, not see things that are published free to my friends in other countries on the interweb? ... please explain
The answer comes up on the message you get when you click on the link. These pages are not funded by the licence fee, so being a licence payer has no bearing on the matter. They are commercial pages available to an international audience and funded by their advertising.
Because that page(s) have advertising on them ... Which is not allowed to be seen in the UK,
This was the announcement for non UK viewers.
