United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

So does that also mean that the minutes of the trial couldn't be accessed by a journalist with use of an FOI request? Surely it was done in open court at the time?
Does the UK have FOI requests?
Freedom of Information Act 2000
This website has a good history of freedom of information laws in the UK.
Court records are typically publicly available, unless the judge seals it. There is usually an administrative cost to access court records.
Ah nice, was just wondering because you usually hear FOIA in US discussions so it sounded weird that the UK would have something with the exact same name
