I guess the BBC just has no editors now. There’s no valid way to interpret that headline as grammatical.

- sefrost 8mo agoCan you explain? It seems like a pretty standard British news/newspaper headline to me.
- codeulike 8mo agoYou may not understand it, but it is grammatically correct.
- acuozzo 8mo agoYou'd have a point if the BBC hadn't capitalized the Who, but they did, so your pedantry is not only needless, but wrong. Would you expect them to throw quotation marks around Anton Whom in a headline including his name?
- antonvs 8mo agoItalicizing it or quoting it would have worked. As it is, it's just incoherent, and you're working too hard to apologize for incompetence.
