          I think that combines another issue here (or two, one being cultural rather than legal, but that’s a whole other can o’ worms). Papers will report on certain things, but I don’t know where the line in. Some tabloids will report all kinds of shit and eat the cost of any judgement if it happens.

      I would not call anything about a law designed solely to prosecute whistleblowers “fairly minor”

        That’s not actually what it’s designed to do and whistle-blowing has a process that isn’t “run directly to the press”.
