Nonsense. He was punished for wrong think for having his own intellectual property denied to him.
I am very grateful that he couldn't stop. I am very grateful that he took the hits for the rest of us. I will never forget Newsnight trying to make a fool of him; everything he said was right and he was eventually vindicated.
@Artemisfornow@somersetlevel I left the prisons in 2012, the staffing was being reorganised solely to save money in a wholly short sighted and shambolic way. Reliable well trained people were replaced by whoever could be hired most cheaply. There was minimal training and precious little career development!
Poor Jason Arday was used.
His appointment as the youngest black professor at Cambridge used him to racewash the University.
Many professors and administrators used him to hit DEI targets. He was a signal of righteousness.
His stories were ridiculous and could not bear scrutiny. That’s why the wheels came off, why the scrutiny was too much.
The Good Law Project used him to project virtue. They circled the wagons and got all those who adhere to the ridiculous notion of DEI over pure merit to use him too.
And even that wasn’t enough to save him because ultimately enabling a fantasist fabulist who has nothing more then the air of their invention to support them will result in collapse.
No, he did not deserve to die.
Those who enabled him, who avoided due diligence, who created this ridiculous story, have undermined a great institution and caused utter devastation to the friends and family, have created the man’s death as sure as the lies were lies.
There are others at the University of Cambridge who do not merit their positions, who were appointed because of their colour or race. This has to end.
There needs to be an inquiry as to why the great performance art project of DEI undermined the university and destroyed that poor man’s life. And it will be ugly.
And I mention Trans here, because the fakery is the same. And I mention Critical Race Theory here, because the fakery is the same.
Clear the lot out of Academia.
More people will suffer a similar fate if you don’t.
