Trump just posted this AI video of himself replacing the Lake Ontario sign with a “Lake America” sign.
I’ll never understand how 77 million people voted for this buffoon.
Historians will one day wonder how on earth they got away with it — and, even more astonishing, how it got them knighthoods and places in the House of Lords.
Nigel Farage has a long documented history of hypocrisy, dishonesty and corruption. As an MEP, he claimed an utterly ridiculous £2 million in expenses, which included paying both his wife and mistress salaries from tax-payer's pockets.
He had zero remorse when he was grilled about it on Have I Got News For You.
If you voted for this man, you have to ask yourself some serious questions about your judgement.
The disproportionate and bullying commentary and coverage of Jason Arday’s mistakes has been obviously dangerous for days. Yes it was a legitimate story, and in various ways a troubling one. But the relentless coverage, the vitriol and bile. The clip of a man talking about us needing more love in the world endlessly mocked. Compare it to the way others who embellished and invented life stories or floated seemingly naive ideas are forgiven. Obviously employers have duties of care. But spare us the pity of those who weaponised his story for social media clicks without a thought.
Jason Arday is dead.
They spent weeks stripping him bare. The race realist who started the fire. The Telegraph. The Spectator. Every line of his thesis, every fundraising claim, every mile he said he ran, every threat he described... forensic, relentless, turned into sport. A Black working class autistic man who reached a Cambridge chair became their perfect scalp. “DEI darling.” “Fraud.” The glee was the point.
He resigned under the weight of it. Said the unrelenting scrutiny and personal attack had reached the limits of what any person should endure. Nine days later he was found unresponsive at home in Battersea. Unexpected. Not suspicious. Forty one years old.
This is how the right works. When someone from the estates, the wrong skin, the wrong neurotype climbs into their institutions, they bring the full apparatus. Every error is a national scandal. Every exaggeration is proof the whole project of equality is a lie.
Meanwhile their own misdemeanours and crimes get the soft treatment. Boris Johnson lied to Parliament about parties while the country locked down... process, delay, shrug. The PPE VIP lane handed billions to Tory donors and mates for kit that never worked while NHS staff went without. Michelle Mone and the rest still counting the money. Serial sexual misconduct and bullying by Tory MPs protected until the last possible second. Farage’s endless grifts and contradictions waved through by the same papers that demanded Arday’s head.
They don’t care about integrity. They care about hierarchy. Accountability is a weapon they point downward. The powerful stay protected. The climbers get destroyed.
Jason Arday faced the spotlight they never shine on their own. The rest of us saw it. We remember. The real scandal was never one academic’s record. It was the double standard that keeps the powerful safe while breaking anyone who challenges the order. That is the fight.
Words matter. Headlines hurt. This is a tragedy created by pernicious media.Questions about Arday’s qualifications and early life should never have been front page news and top of every news bulletin. Accountability must follow. My sympathies to his family https://t.co/0A7qEQ8o6w
Hounded to death. https://t.co/mLcGLiREHw I hope everyone including many of my fellow journalists who joined the pile-on of Jason Arday is thoroughly ashamed and penitent but I doubt it. What a tragedy.
We want to sincerely congratulate Nigel Farage.
For defeating a man with a bin on his head.
In a by-election that he called.
To avoid questioning over receiving an unreported £5 million pounds.
From an offshore, crypto-bro billionaire.
That hasn’t achieved anything.
As he can still face an inquiry over the donation.
Meaning this entire farce has been a complete waste of time.
Nigel – well done.
