There's actually not much to stop the rollout of HTTPS on the BBC News site now. In fact, the major hurdles were overcome nearly a year ago. The final hurdle is convincing the product and editorial teams that enabling HTTPS is more important than whatever features they want to build.

Ah - fair enough. I made some assumptions based on some of the hurdles seen by some of the more recent moves to HTTPs on smaller BBC sites, not of any real knowledge of the current situation.
(FWIW, your article from Dec 2016 played a part in me joining the BBC recently as a developer, and I know of at least one other developer currently at the BBC who also was motivated to apply after your article :))

There are hurdles for sure. I guess I'm just publicly venting my frustration at having HTTPS on one of the world's biggest news websites be under-prioritised for years and years :)
I'm really glad to hear that btw. I wish I could have stuck around for longer!
