I have finally had the opportunity to access the supplementary bundle, as I've had difficulty during the course of the #IStandWithAllisonBailey trial, and reading the sheer level of evidence and detail relating to the cotton ceiling is shocking.
People need to be informed.
People need to be informed.
And I'm saying this as someone who is familiar with basic concepts of the cotton ceiling.
The Nation needs to know what's happening to Lesbians, but they won't do if trial bundles are made inaccessible to the public via strategic legal briefs, keen to spare their clients blushes

Judges who obstruct public access to trial bundles prevent facts are made known, the issues of legitimate public being properly "ventilated" as per Bingham. This is bad for Democracy and bad for concept of #OpenJustice.
