@hewantswealth With many commitments. The less you’re seen of a “risk” the easier it is to cough up the coppers

[J @Jmanwitter]

@hewantswealth I wouldn’t call it awful. It’s true. He didn’t say not to have debt but appearing squeaky clean near to obtaining a mortgage is better.

A bank would rather lend to someone earning £50K with minimal commitments and wanting to purchase a £300K house vs someone on £100K, with 1/2

Talent like this deserves to be seen.

Black people need to love and support one another more. The British establishment does not like you

[Funmi @Funminz]

Success leaves clues. Look at Brampton Manor discipline, structure, and an environment built for excellence. And the leadership isn’t accidental either. Dr. Dayo Olukoshi OBE runs that place with a no nonsense, high standards mindset. When the culture is serious, the results speak for themselves.

Today alone, the brilliant teenagers from Brampton Manor who had excellent grades were also targeted by the far right and right wing media as well. They were trying all day to cook up a narrative that the A level grades were just handed to these kids.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

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.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

The media hounded Jason Arday and it was disproportionate.

[Claudia Webbe @ClaudiaWebbe]

The media took the word of a known racist, then hounded and executed Jason Arday, a Black professor, in the square of public opinion.

Now they write his obituary. Cambridge cashed in, then walked away. The government looked on.

The media. The university. The state. All culpable

[IJ | mwen pa sòt online @aChildOf2Worlds]

There was more energy for this academic scandal than for when mortgage rates went through the roof in 2023 or when Boris lied to the Queen or the PPE scandal from the pandemic

Ads being run you know. ADS.

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

Everything about the Jason Arday situation is utterly infuriating but maybe never so much as when you compare the public vitriol he received with the comparative lack of it directed at those who have done orders of magnitude greater material harm.

[Highway Unicorn🦄 @ilovearsenal02]

Huw Edwards who was producing child abuse material got less scrutiny in the media btw

[Dawn Butler ✊🏾💙 @DawnButlerBrent]

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

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Sending love to Jason Arday's family and friends.

He was subject of sustained and malicious media attacks which were no doubt more vicious because he was Black.

We must now reflect on the impact of a trial by some of the media and online on someone under extreme pressure.
