What a cunt.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

The only person responsible for Jason Arday's death is Jason Arday.

He was a liar and a fraud who was rightly exposed for what he really was by academics and journalists who were simply doing their job.

No one forced Arday to make up lie after lie about his life. He chose to do that. And he did it for financial gain and to bask in the applause it brought him.

He used those lies to deceive people into giving him a job he didn't merit, a lucrative book deal he didn't deserve,  as well as fame and adulation he didn't earn. 

And when he was found out, he called in the police and expensive lawyers to shut his accusers up, and his failed students who complained were branded as racist.

Cambridge University and Jesus College enabled this liar by lauding him as brilliant when he wasn't even mediocre. They should ask themselves why they put their DEI religion above the need for fairness in their appointments processes, above the needs of Arday's students and, most importantly, above the truth.

Arday's family and friends should ask themselves why they chose not to speak out to expose his lies which they must have known to be untrue. 

The police should ask themselves why they thought it acceptable to investigate an academic and a journalist simply for asking questions about Arday's fraudulent CV. 

The BBC and Arday's many other deluded cheerleaders should ask themselves why they were so desperate to believe Arday's outlandish claims in the face of all the evidence.

The thousands of the great and the good in academia, politics, media and law who signed the Good Law Project letter backing Arday should ask themselves why, without any justification, they outrageously branded Arday's critics as racists who just wanted to bring down a successful black man because of the colour of his skin.

All of these people made their own contributions to Jason Arday's life. And arguably all of them contributed in some way to his decision to take his own life when his fantastical claims were finally exposed for what they really were: lies.

The idea that those who exposed Arday as a lying fraudster are to blame for his death is as laughable as it is outrageous. 

The idea that Arday was "hounded" to his death is absurd. He chose to tell every single lie himself and he even chose to continue those lies in his resignation letter from Cambridge. He is not the victim. He is the perpetrator.

The claim that Arday's downfall was only a front page story because he was black is also ridiculous. He chose to tell the lies that made him a front page story in the first place. 

I feel sorry for those who loved him. It is very sad that he has chosen to take his own life rather than face the consequences of his own actions, which should have resulted in a criminal conviction for fraud. 

But actions have consequences. This isn't about right and left. It's about right and wrong.

The Scottish (and some extent Welsh) faux outrage at No.10 North is tiring. You have the Senned, you have Hollyrood.

[Jack 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @JackMyatt17]

Things like this will end up being rife with classism, probably a bit of racism too. Many people seem to forget the postcode lottery of grades for GCSE and A-Level during Covid.

@LivEchonews need some new proof readers. I'll happily apply :P

[Jack 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @JackMyatt17]

In a fairer society they'd be no fee. That's my hot opinion on the topic. You shouldn't have to pay to participate/lead in democracy.

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

Standing for election requires a £500 deposit. This has been the case since 1985.

If it had kept pace with inflation, an election deposit would be £1,595.77 today.

I think there is a case, however, to go further and raise the deposit to the same level it is for metro mayoral elections: £5,000.

Remember all you have to do is win 5% of the vote in order to see your deposit returned.

[Jack 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @JackMyatt17]

@HarveySillyPriv Even worse! Looks like you in for Cabbage soup for the next 2 months

@HarveySillyPriv They do no Iceberg is just the type of lettuce right? It doesn't need to be kept frozen.

[Jack 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @JackMyatt17]

@buctootim He hasn't though. He's also scrapping disastrous policies such as the early prison release, digital I.D. he's announced a 20% VAT cut on hospitality and is set to announce an SCHS (Social Care) how is this Starmers measures.

[Jack 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @JackMyatt17]

As with Starmer. The doom speak already spreads. Burnham is delivering and people don't like that. Other parts of the country are getting a look in and the Westminster bubble doesn't like that. Back Burnham. Keep the Faith!

I think we need to accept that for a government to be successful or at least stand a chance in the narrative nowadays it's gonna need a bloody strong comms unit.

[Andrew Snowden MP 🇬🇧 @A_J_Snowden]

So ‘No10 North’ is basically going to be a government funded influencer account for Burnham.

Who knew 🙄

Shouldn't you be focusing on remembering what days the bins meed to go out?

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

Andy Burnham cannot be allowed to make the ‘biggest changes in politics for 40 years’ without a mandate.

We need a general election now.

[Jack 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @JackMyatt17]

Some of the writing has been questionable not to mention early decisions affecting the whole story and emotional beats. The biggest mistake they made was what they did with Aegon in Season 1. Also lets not forget half this season if the end of the last season.
