FundraiserSupport Linzi Smith - Banned and spied on for her GC beliefs
Posted March 8, 2024 by ChristinaXYZ in Activism

Linzi has been banned from attending games at her beloved Newcastle United because of the tweets supporting women's rights and the concept of biological sex.

"I am Linzi Smith, a member of the Free Speech Union, an LGB advocate and a lifelong supporter of Newcastle United. I was banned from my football club and subjected to a sinister private investigation because I believe that biological sex is important and real."

Linzi is crowd funding for her legal fees to take on not just Newcastle United, but also the Premier League who spied on her and not only created a dosier on her:

"At this point, events turned sinister. A data subject access request to the club revealed a confidential report called the “Online Investigation and Target Profile” created by the Premier League. The report contained details of my posts on X and far, far more. The Premier League pried into who I am and where I live. They even gathered images of the places where I walk my dog.

I was extremely disturbed. I could see no reason for them to intrude so deeply into my private life. What’s more, it had been going on for four months before I found out about it. As early as July 2023, Newcastle had taken an interest in my social media activity, after receiving a single complaint about my posts on X. Rather than dismiss the complaint on the basis that my legally protected philosophical beliefs were nothing to do with club, Newcastle instead instructed the Premier League to covertly research me.

The Premier League didn’t just produce the Online Investigation and Target Profile. They also provided Newcastle with guidance on “exploring options for restorative education”."

That last line is somehow the most horrifying.

Restorative education??? What are they going to do, exactly? Ship her off to a re-education camp? Strap her to a chair, drug her with stimulants, and force her to watch hours and hours of propaganda videos? Rape her?

I mean seriously, this sounds straight out of 1984

That struck me. It is awful. Serious over-reach by the Premier League.

DONATED!!! What an unbelievable cretin surveillance state they want built up around women who won’t obey.
