Remove BBC News Ads

Remove the ads from BBC News pages (news.bbc.co.uk)

If you are accessing the news.bbc.co.uk pages outside of the UK you now see ads on the pages. This script should hide them

Didn't work for me. I use these lines instead

if(ad=document.getElementById('bbccom_leaderboard')) ad.style.display='none';
if(ad=document.getElementById('bbccom_skyscraper')) ad.style.display='none';
if(ad=document.getElementById('bbccom_bottom')) ad.style.display='none';

The script works but there is a big gap at the top of the page which closes up visibly while loading. I doubt this is avoidable and otherwise this works quite well.

You could comment on this script if you were logged in.
