Let’s talk about BBC

He should sue himself for posting a video of Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero and fake moustache.

...or virtually sh!tting on US citizens.

So completely sane then.

Depends on which eyeglasses you're wearing 👓👓

Be a good chap and do that for us, eh? I don't want to be the one breaching copyright. Professionally, that's not a good look for me.

For the benefit of the curious, Andy's wânk sheet should read:-

DNA tests show that Beachy Head Woman may have originated from Southern England. Previous research based on the skull shape suggested that she was from sub-Saharan Africa. Early DNA research in 2000 provided more information and suggested an origin in the Mediterranean. A re-examination in 2025 using the latest DNA analysis techniques suggest that her origins are within the UK.
None of this has anything to do with the BBC who reported syndicated news reports, because that's one of the things that they do.

Beachy Head Lady was recognised as the first ‘black Briton’ by scientists following their research after her discovery. The BBC, like many other organisations accepted this as there was no reason not to…until now.
Absolutely nothing to see here except your (and the Telegraph’s and Mail’s) strange obsession with the BBC.
Please read more than just the headlines of the shyte your algorithms find for you.

Apologies IC for the duplication.

If don't have javascript on by default and visit a Telegraph link, are you breaching copyright? I assumed this would be case if I decided to copy the article, but that would be true whether there is a paywall or not.

For the benefit of the curious, Andy's wânk sheet should read:-

My favourite part of the whole story is the revelation that a woman from the Mediterranean and whose body was at Beachy Head probably ate a lot of seafood. Well I never!

No, that is not sidestepping the paywall, that is just a screen shot of the top of the page not behind the firewall

so what is the point in your several posts about this story? No one is able to know what it is

If you can read it for free without going via a paywall it's probably fine and they just need a better website. If there is a paywall, from dim and distant memory copying parts of something can fall under "fair dealing". It becomes a grey area whether a news article is the whole of something or a part of something, for such purposes. Even if you copy it, the remedy is damages or account of profit resulting from it (and an injunction). Which is probably £1.50 multiplied by the ten people who have read it on Cyclechat.

I'm not a copyright lawyer though. Or even a lawyer. You can tell by my lack of Aston Martin and because I have no celebrity friends who I've prosecuted Ed Sheeran on behalf of.
