I have already posted the following on this subject on Jet Blast this morning:

A pox on the IOC!

All BBC radio stations on the internet are blocked on their instructions for the duration of the O'Limping Games!

Why have the BBC bowed down to these clowns and deprived people allover the World of radio from home?

Cameron needs to be brought to account.

"only option would be to illegally use a UK proxy server"

Yes GG, I have and it's still blocked. Seems you can only access BBC stations on the internet, via some new way on i player.

"Have you tried the radio channel on the satellite TV"

That's how I'm listening now.

The BBC agreeing to the IOC and Lord Cow on this and acting to block, must infringe some human rights law, I would think.

It's actually an own goal, preventing peeps from listening in to the Games.

I would think Boris does not know. Tis the IOC being greedy on licensing fees I think.
"'ExpatShield' which is said to overcome the problem"


Bin there, got the T shirt this morning,GG .
It didn't work for me!
Even Radio Manchester is blocked!

I have just sent an email to Cameron on the subject.
