I’ve read this line so often in recent days – a sort of guilt-reaction following the death of Jason Arday – and I find it dreadful drivel. Arday was a gentle, sensitive, complex man, whose life ended in tragedy. But you could not stop ordinary people being fascinated by his story. Here was a man who constructed remarkable fabrications – some of them ludicrous – about both his life and his academic achievements. I lost count of the number of ordinary, decent people who had said to me in recent weeks: “This story is amazing. Have you seen it? How was this allowed to happen?” Papers like The Guardian and The Times knew that people found the story incredible, and I for one found it compelling reading.
I’m not a racist. I found the Arday story captivating on various levels and I kept reading. And then, on Friday evening, I felt heartbroken at the terrible news.
Are we to stop being interested, intrigued, curious, and ultimately amazed?
The fastest female, 100-meter sprinter in recorded history is American legend Florence Griffith Joyner. She set the world record of 10.49 seconds on July 16, 1988.
In 2026, there were over 1000 high school boys that beat this record! You read that correctly. In this year alone, there were over 1000 high school boys that beat the record of fastest woman in the world ever!
If just one of those boys, or a meager 1/10 of 1%, decided to compete as a woman, he would crush the women’s world record!
I’m not talking about a high school record or a college record or even an Olympic or professional record. I’m talking about the women’s world record that has held since 1988!
Remind me again, why you’re not supportive of women’s rights.
With a new season just around the corner, don’t ever forget what happened
The most sinister and blatant cheating you’ll ever see over the course to ensure Celtic and their hero O’Neill won the league and it’ll continue with him at the helm
An independent enquiry must happen
@TheHeartsReview How do you suggest they keep players and a manager that wanted to leave? This is a club that nearly won the league, from nowhere the season before.
