It's just a quirk of the UK laws. It is what some would call a loophole that sites like these can prescribe and send out problematic drugs (either habit-forming or embarrassing) within the UK. A lot of the stock available (like aspirin) is just window-dressing. Their main income is codeine, DHC, zolpidem, morning-after-pills, viagra, etc plus the people who like their conventional meds for their heart or diabetes delivered. Serving the UK is legal and relatively hassle-free, shipping outside the UK (for the medicines that keep them in business) invites trouble. There's no real incentive to engineer the website for the overseas customer ordering aspirin or benadryl because that customer doesn't really exist. It's all set up with domestic pain-relief (or ED or pregnancy or baldness) in mind. Putting aspirin on sale is just an afterthought.
