A female football fan, a supporter of Newcastle United football club, was subject to a Stasi-like investigation by the club and the English Premier League and banned from attending matches until 2026 owing to 'gender-critical' social media posts. The supporter, Linzi Smith, is a lesbian and objects to men claiming to be lesbians. In response, the club compiled a dossier on her by trawling through her social media postings, in an effort to discover her identity (she was pseudonymous online, but left their investigators enough clues to track her down).

It is quite astonishing the world we live in in 2024. I can only imagine these sorts of things getting worse as time goes on, with the combination of totalitarian left-wing ideology and surveillance technology. The people who think this way hold all the levers of power except elective office. The Conservative government, owing to its own uselessness and incompetence, is likely to be voted out later this year to make way for a Labour one, which is a truly terrifying prospect for the future of this country.
