Forget iPlayer and video feeds, is there a way to view BBC.co.uk outside of the UK so I can read domestic articles?

Without having to do the full proxy/VPN route that people use to get iPlayer working, is a there a simple way to browse to see and browse the bbc.co.uk front page from outside the UK?

No, there isn't.

The problem is the same actually but whilst the videos (iPlayer) are effectively blocked the news aren't but you're always redirected to the "international" website.

So, the only way to make it work like at home is to trick it into thinking you're "at home" and that implies the use of the exact same workaround you're already familiar with for iPlayer.
