The UK is a cesspool dominated by Muslims and leftists. I’m pretty sure they have anti-blasphemy laws in place. That’s why they can’t “accept comments for legal reasons.”

Any normal person who tries to live in or raise a family in the UK is #*&$%^8 idiot. They should be fleeing or killing every last rodent.

Not at all. This is standard practice with reports of current criminal trials, whatever the alleged offence. It's simply that, under British law, to comment on the merits of a criminal prosecution while it's in progress constitutes contempt of court. The media can only report the facts of the proceedings, not publish commentary. (It's a different matter, of course, after the case in concluded). The law on comtempt of court is much stricter in Britain than in the US.
