Premier League Stasi - This is quite something

[wils]

Not a fan of Toby Young but this is well worth putting up with his smug mug for a few minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBghrEgYs8I Premier League has unit that spies on our social media accounts and passes the information on to clubs to get you banned.

"She's a TERF, same as JK Rowling and others. Her sexuality is irrelevant in this case, its just another sign of the left eating itself."

"Seeing the woman who has been banned, she is an obvious rug muncher, funny how the media, trans community etc have turned against this lot, a few years ago they were the radical men hating brigade, now they are the victims!!! Expect a lot is to do with them only wanting to rug munch with biological woman and not those with pretend Fanny's or still have their cocks. Virtual signaling by the PL and Newcastle though thats for sure, but what bunch of hypocrites they are, happy to take the Saudi money and turn a blind eye to what the owners of Newcastle have been involved in, but happy to ridicule and ban a rug muncher!"

Fuck me! I hope they don't read the Limerick Thread

"Wils has this right, the FSU is a valid organisation that defends people who otherwise would have nowhere to turn after being persecuted for their views. As for the particular case in question, as shocking as it is, it really should surprise nobody that football is the latest industry to completely lose its mind."

"Just actually bothered to look at the story. Newcastle United. The team who's regime have committed horrendous crimes including killing journalists and human rights violations (allegedly) have banned a fan for saying a person with a penis is a man. Assume there's more to that story, but if its not something that's happened at a game they've got no right to ban her"

"It’s puzzling how someone who thinks a person born with a cock isn’t a woman can be banned from attending football matches, for that reason. It’s even more puzzling that someone at the PL thinks this is the right thing to do, to effectively start to screen football fans and ban them for non football related issues. Overreach gone mad. Meanwhile, nothing happening to Chelsea or Manchester City?"

"Vexed ""but to think there's an entire squad of people at the Premier league sniffing out people with vaguely non woke views would have most football grounds half empty. Ask yourself why they would bother?"" She put a subject access request to the Premier League. The Telegraph has published the details in their report. The PL clearly saw her social media posts and that she attended games at a Premier League ground and built a dossier and passed it to Newcastle. The evidence is compelling. The channel is the Free Speech Union's YouTube channel. It's quite a high profile organisation which has won some high profile cases against big institutions such as Cambridge University. Has many academics, lawyers and a high court judge working for it and advising it. I can understand disdain for some of people associated with FSU, but I am not convinced of your scepticism on this particular case. It's quite clear and is being widely reported."

joyo 5:16 Sat Feb 3 This is a good point

If you can get banned for being a very angry LGBT weirdo then vexed would receive a 100 year ban

[Vexed]

"Wils 3:56 Sat Feb 3 I dont have reason to doubt that the angry dyke was banned, could have been for any reason, but to think there's an entire squad of people at the Premier league sniffing out people with vaguely non woke views would have most football grounds half empty. Ask yourself why they would bother? I'm almost sure that channel is a spoof too, it's absurd. Use your loaf."

Have a day off. If you believe that you'll believe anything. Have they got some magic twitter handle to real name crystal ball? That channel is mental. Log off pal.

"Though, getting banned from the games might be a blessing in disguise right now. And not even a convincing disguise at that"

Maybe we won't add him as a member then
