Does the BBC even proofread their stories? Geez, guys. Does the BBC even proofread their stories?
EDIT: Twelve hours later and it&#8217;s still there, so it&#8217;s not like it was an upload error or anything. It&#8217;s as if no one actually looked at the page. Pushes my buttons!

You know. Those millions.
I feel bathed in the inclusivity of their approach.
