Toby Young, the freedom-fighting head of the so-called ‘Free Speech Union’, has announced his latest venture: a dating forum for people sceptical of the government’s coronavirus lockdown measures.

Young has been typically outspoken against what he views as overly restrictive efforts to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Earlier this year, criticising the drastic measures taken by the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, to protect the economy, Young tweeted: “Spending that kind of money to extend the lives of a few hundred thousand mostly elderly people with underlying health problems by one or two years is a mistake.”

Singles against social distancing

Young – who was fired from a job at The Times and served as Director of the New Schools Network – apparently now views it as his duty to connect singles with objections to social distancing.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
