@Miatsf The public have idea about how much they are paying in green subsidies!!!!

[Silkie Carlo @silkiecarlo]

How is it that in all the BBC reporting on Jason Arday, the “fact checkers” and “misinformation experts” at BBC Verify - with their 60+ staff and £3m budget - have been nowhere to be seen…🤔

If you only followed BBC reporting on this you’d have no idea what’s actually going on

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

The Met’s efforts to intimidate a journalist doing public interest journalism cannot simply be excused by its boss saying ‘we dropped the ball.’ This was a direct attack on a free press and free speech. The journalist’s investigations have been vindicated. The Met is meant to protect a free press and free speech. Instead, it’s the threat.

@HannaKienzler F off…the Telegraph exposed his fraud

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

I’ll be honest, I was barely aware of who Jason Arday was until this week. Learned a lot covering the story on Tuesday.

One thing that interests me is that some of the most senior people in British academia believed he was: a world class marathon runner, one of Britain’s most impressive charity fundraisers, an apprentice at Crystal Palace football club, a plausible snooker pro, and that he had brain surgery weeks before his viva (which meant memory loss).

The liberal intelligentsia like to think they are smarter than everyone else, but most people would hear that and think “hang on, this doesn’t really sound very possible does it”.

[Rafe Heydel-Mankoo @RafHM]

Jason Arday’s resignation is not the end of this story. It is the beginning. His enablers must be held to account

This is a national scandal involving universities, DEI programmes, the police and leading figures in academia, media & politics

This is a major crisis for Cambridge, with its reputation severely damaged

Our Woke establishment has been utterly humiliated. The brains of leading figures in public life have been so addled by the woke mind virus that they simply couldn't or wouldn't see what everyone else could.

@mrjamesob, @sbaroncohen , @ZackPolanski, Labour MPs by the bucketload, respected academics etc. etc. all blinded (brainwashed) by ideology.

They willingly put their reputations on the line, instinctively circling the waggons around Arday without pausing for a second to consider whether any of the allegations might have some substance.

A normal person would die from shame.

This is truly devastating for nonsensical subjects such as Critical Race Theory - a ridiculous field of study with no empirical or scientific foundation, taught by substandard "academics" spouting drivel.

Jason Arday's academic output in Critical Race Theory was excruciatingly bad, yet his superiors touted him as a world leader. What a damning indictment of CRT.

And it should sound the death knell for D.E.I. programmes, too.

How many other Jason Ardays are out there? People hired and promoted over others despite having no talent, skills or qualifications but simply because they tick the right diversity boxes.

This should lead to much soul searching - and root and branch investigations - across the UK, USA, Canada and everywhere else that has embraced this damaging policy of self harm.

Heads also need to roll in the Metropolitan Police for trying to silence a reputable journalist at Times Higher Education. His crime? Politely emailing careful questions to the fantasist Arday. This outrageous attack on the freedom of the press is deeply sinister.

I can't think of another incident which has so effectively exposed the corruption, incompetence and ideological capture of key British institutions and public figures.

Me on @GBNews:

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Perhaps the most disturbing element in the fantasy world of (ex)-Professor Jason Arday is not his proclivity to embellish his achievements (or lack thereof) in absurd ways that were easily exposed or Cambridge University’s facile complicity in his whole scam but that a reporter at Times Higher Education, who was looking into anomalies in Mr Arday’s dodgy CV, was subjected to a four-month police investigation for allegedly harassing him. The police need to be held to account for this abuse of police power to thwart a journalist from doing his job.

@DickWinchester @timespolitics Sadly there has never been a time when politicians were respected 😁

[Neil O'Brien @NeilDotObrien]

Cambridge's reputation is getting shredded every day - to defend a fraud and a bully

@stephen_wolfram I am sorry for your loss. My condolences

[MRBIGSH0T @MRBIGSH0T]

@JamaicaGleaner @Raggahmufinzent Bruce makes fair points, but who ever said the world is a fair place? Jamaica needs to be pragmatic about its foreign policies…

[MRBIGSH0T @MRBIGSH0T]

@goldstone_tony @DanNeidle Maybe we are missing the Laffer Curve benefits? We mostly agree most tax rates are too high and that alters behaviour. Perhaps lowering tax rates will actually increase tax revenue? You recently proved the Scottish hike income tax rates actually reduced tax revenue.

@MrBrum43 It’s the liability for injury that drives the price up. Inflation of personal injury awards and also fake personal injury claims. Please see insurance as a cow to be milked!!
