We're appealing for the public's help to find George, who's missing from Portishead.
The 18-year-old was last seen at 8.20pm yesterday (17 September) in Woodlands Road and has links to the Clevedon/Portishead area.
If you see him, call 999 using reference 5226267576.
Live @ 09.00 Wednesday for our review of Lincoln (H).
3 points maintains the ppg that secures a play off place.
Managing minutes, should that apply to Knight? Was surprised Cardines taken off at weekend. I see him as an "athlete" and, like Knight, able to do 3 in 7

@JeffBezos Put your hand in your pocket Bezos , you could help so many in poverty all those children… put your money where your mouth is, make it Meaningful
Imagine growing up in absolute dirt poverty in east Tennessee, daughter of a tobacco farmer, going to school wearing rags your mother stitched into a coat, and when you die the British royal family has its military band play your up-the-workers country-pop anthem in tribute.
Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.
@nathancofnas Your suspension has nothing to do with your position of ‘whistle blower’.
You’re suspended for spreading ideas about racial superiority which is against UGent code of ethics and for working outside the contractual scope of your employment. Thanks for sharing @mboudry
The fact Huw Edwards faced less public and media scrutiny for buying 41 indecent images of children than Jason Arday did for lying to get a job tells you everything.
I never met Jason Arday, and know nothing about him beyond what I have read, seen and heard in the media.
As the debate around him raged in recent weeks, I stayed out of it, precisely because it struck me as one of those occasional frenzies in which facts get lost and humans cease to be treated as humans. I now wish I had reached out to him, tried to encourage him that “this too shall pass.”
Many people today, those who knew him above all but also many like me who didn’t, will be feeling sadness and anger that this has all led to his death, a family suddenly without a father, parents without a son. None of us will ever know exactly what was going through his mind, but it is hard to disagree with @MayorofLondon that Jason Arday faced “an unacceptable public hounding and campaign of abuse … pernicious public shaming that other people in his position wouldn’t have faced.”
Whatever the truth of the allegations against him, would he have suffered such a hounding had he been white, with short hair? I doubt it. The zeal with which the Trumpian anti-DEI brigade in the U.K. leapt on this story to try to push back the wheel of progress towards genuine equality was horrible.
Again, Sadiq is right to say “His death was a tragedy but it should be a wake-up call for all of us.”
RIP Jason. And to all of us, if ever you think someone you know may have cause to be suicidal, reach out to them.
I will not share my last exchange with Jason but I hope that all who hounded him feel the weight of that every single day.
And I hope that we wake up to what has happened and is happening.
Was this fair or disproportionate coverage?
Tomorrow I'll say more.
R.I.P Jason
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.
If Jason Arday were a white middle-class academic, he would not have been hounded by the British press in the way he was.
My thoughts are with his loved ones. May he rest in peace.
Very flat from City in the opening half.
Defensively we seem OK.
Knight is trying to get things going in the middle but Bird, Greenwood & Twine are offering little which means Tolaj is left looking for scraps up front.
Limited options from the bench here with others in Exeter.
