She's going after the club and the coppers. The article spells out very clearly why

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/06/08/gender-critical-newcastle-fan-linzi-smith-sues-police/

I think I recall previous mentions of this case.

For some reason I was able to read the article and the comments (the selection I saw were all supportive) without archive. There were mentions and a link for the Crowdfunder in the comments. If anyone else feels moved to donate remember you can remove the garnish that Crowdfunder takes for itself.

I think the case she's pursuing against the Police is important. I don't believe they should be perceived as taking sides. Handing out pronoun badges ffs!

They do seem to go after Lesbian Women don't they?

Definitely, I have noticed this too. The very existence of lesbians seems to piss off a certain kind of man

@GennyLec no worries: archives = my natural habitat, even virtual ones 😁

Thanks for the Beckham bend past the paywall.

From the article:

''Explaining the significance of the case, Paul Conrathe, the solicitor representing Ms Smith, said: “This legal action could set a precedent that Pride and its associated rainbow symbols and flags are political.
“They represent support for highly controversial and contested gender ideology – the belief that a person can have a gender that is different to their biological sex.
“By marching at Pride, wearing rainbow lanyards and driving rainbow painted police cars the police have plainly breached their statutory duty of impartiality.
“As the coercive arm of the state it is chilling that the police should take sides in a highly controversial political debate.” ''

Blimey. This might be another Maya level outcome.

Bend it like Beckham round the paywall…

Glad she’s taking action, she’s been treated appallingly.

I've been following this on Twitter. It's insane what the club have done.

Reminds me of my grandma. You won’t mess with her.

Great! I need to keep notes on what crowdfunders I've donated to. I think I've already donated to Linzi but I'll check. It's great that she's going after the police too.

Good for her! Yet another court case to fund as we try to bring back democracy, women's rights and free speech to society.
