Um, I believe AI is seeking physical access to the trial because they have sought - and were specifically denied - remote access to it. If you want to write some justifications for why the government is refusing to let the public watch a video of the proceedings, then knock yourself out.

It appears they have exactly the same access as the rest of the public, from their own tweet. https://twitter.com/JuliaHall18/status/1306197900289019904/photo/1 https://twitter.com/JuliaHall18/status/1306197900289019904/p...

  They let in around five members of the public. So yes they have the same access, which is no access.

    "Be sure to get up early and be there on-time" is hardly no access. It's AI that's requesting special treatment. I think it'd be cool if the UK passed a law making it so, but it seems less cool if a trial judge decides unilaterally to go outside of the norms and allow it. Isn't AI's goal to make sure norms are followed?

      Yeah, I don't think "waking up early" is going to help if they only let in five people. Did you read her Twitter thread you keep posting? The reason she is requesting "special treatment" is so that the spots allocated to the public wouldn't be used. They are trying to use their authority to push for more people allowed to attend. >Isn't AI's goal to make sure norms are followed? No, the goal is to try and ensure that a tryly public trial is held.
